Comet Madness by Richard J Goodrich
In Comet Madness, author and historian Richard J. Goodrich examines the 1910 appearance of Halleys Comet and the ensuing frenzy sparked by media manipulation, bogus science, and outright deception. The result is a fascinating and illuminating narrative history that underscores how we behave in the face of potential calamity then and now.Richard J. Goodrich, Ph.D., teaches late-Roman and early-church history at Gonzaga University.
He is the author of six academic books, as well as the monthly quirky history newsletter, What’s New in Old News? His writing has been featured in Columbia Magazine, American History, and Medium.
