Almanac of Alien EncountersEric ElfmanDo your kids know what a UFO is? Have they ever seen one? Have you ever briefed them on the subject of your investigations? Let best-selling children’s book author Eric Elfman do it for you. Elfman’s new book, ALMANAC OF ALIEN ENCOUNTERS, just published by Random House, outlines the fascinating history of UFOs in a chronological overview that kids will find gripping. The Almanac of Alien Encounters is an in-depth, thought-provoking look at classic unsolved sightings and close encounters with extraterrestrials, along with other related phenomena such as ancient astronauts, crop circles, the Face on Mars, cattle mutilations, and much more. The book also details the U.S. government’s official response to UFO reports, as well as a look at science’s more cautious approach to alien encounters: SETI, the on-going Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence. "I have never seen a book on the young adult level which provides so much
information to the young reader in such a simple, yet adult-like, manner. The
book gives an excellent overview of the early flying saucer sightings, from
prehistory right up to the present. Having a section on what to do if you
see a UFO is encouraging to us UFO investigators."
Whether your kids are dedicated skeptics or True Believers--and from his visits to schools, Eric has found that kids span the spectrum--they’ll find something in the Almanac to make them think, make them laugh, send a shiver down their spine, and spark their curiosity about the universe around them. And most important of all, this book is sure to get even the most reluctant readers reading! The Almanac of Alien Encounters is available at all major bookstores, as well as from www.amazon.com. It has been published both in paperback and in a more-durable hardcover "library binding".
