November 14th Speaker: Dr. Robert Zubrin

Robert Zubrin is a New Atlantis contributing editor, a fellow at the Center for
Security Policy, and the president of Pioneer Astronautics, an aerospace engineering
R&D firm. He also leads the Mars Society, an international organization dedicated
to furthering space exploration. For many years, he worked as a senior engineer
for Lockheed Martin. He holds a doctorate in nuclear engineering, and has nine U.S.
patents granted or pending. In addition, he is the author of the critically acclaimed
nonfiction books The Case for Mars, Entering Space, and Mars on Earth ; the science fiction novels The Holy Land and First Landing ; and articles in Scientific American, The New Atlantis, American Enterprise, the New York Times, and the Washington Post. He has appeared on major media including
CNN, C-SPAN, the BBC, the Discovery Channel, the Science Channel, NBC, ABC, and
NPR.

Mr. Zubrin's latest book, Merchants of Despair: Radical Environmentalists, Criminal
Pseudo-Scientists, and the Fatal Cult of Antihumanism,
is the newest addition to the New Atlantis Books series. Merchants of Despair traces
the pedigree of the ideology that human beings are a cancer upon the Earth - a species
whose aspirations and appetites are endangering the natural order - and exposes
its deadly consequences in startling and horrifying detail. It exposes the worst
crimes perpetrated by this antihumanist movement, including eugenics campaigns
in the United States and genocidal anti-development and population-control programs
around the world. And it provides scientific refutations to antihumanism's major
pseudo-scientific claims, including its modern tirades against nuclear power, pesticides,
population growth, biotech foods, resource depletion, industrial development, and,
most recently, fear-mongering about global warming. The book's official homepage
is www.MerchantsOfDespair.com.
Mr. Zubrin's 2007 book on energy policy, Energy Victory: Winning the War on Terror
by Breaking Free of Oil, was excerpted in The New Atlantishere.
He discussed his book in a lecture at the Ethics and Public Policy Center in November
2007. The book's official homepage is EnergyVictory.net.

In connection with his writings on energy policy, Mr. Zubrin occasionally contributes
to the "Set America Free" blog.
