Quick November Fund-Raiser for Behind the Black: Thank you!
UPDATE: Today (November 16) marks the end of my short fall fund-raising campaign. The response was wonderful, beyond my expectations, and very very much appreciated.
Donations and subscriptions are still welcome, but at the end of today this announcement will no longer sit at the top of the webpage.
Now available in hardback and paperback as well as ebook!
From the press release: In this ground-breaking new history of early America, historian Robert Zimmerman not only exposes the lie behind The New York Times 1619 Project that falsely claims slavery is central to the history of the United States, he also provides profound lessons about the nature of human societies, lessons important for Americans today as well as for all future settlers on Mars and elsewhere in space.
Conscious Choice: The origins of slavery in America and why it matters today and for our future in outer space, is a riveting page-turning story that documents how slavery slowly became pervasive in the southern British colonies of North America, colonies founded by a people and culture that not only did not allow slavery but in every way were hostile to the practice.
Conscious Choice does more however. In telling the tragic history of the Virginia colony and the rise of slavery there, Zimmerman lays out the proper path for creating healthy societies in places like the Moon and Mars.
“Zimmerman’s ground-breaking history provides every future generation the basic framework for establishing new societies on other worlds. We would be wise to heed what he says.” —Robert Zubrin, founder of founder of the Mars Society.
All editions available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and all book vendors. The ebook can be purchased direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit, in which case you don't support the big tech companies and I get a bigger cut much sooner.

Autographed printed copies are also available at discount directly from me (hardback $24.95; paperback $14.95). Just email me at zimmerman @ nasw dot org.
Thanks Bob for the great work. As you know, I cancelled my subscription to Sky and Telescope (after a few decades of support) due to their support of the riots in an editorial. When I recieve the check promised, guess where it will go.
BtB has always been criticle of those who need to be critizied: even Trump and the GOP, as well as the DNC.
Phill-
Good man!
–I was going to post a link to the Sky & Telescope collection at the Archive, so you could go back to before they lost-their-minds, but it appears to have vanished. (or I can’t readily find it anymore)
That aside- you might find this useful some time:
