03.12: Meet Me in Atlantis: My Obsessive Quest to Find the Sunken City
2015-02-14 01:01:37| Powells Books Events Calendar
A few years ago, Mark Adams, author of Turn Right at Machu Picchu, made a strange discovery: everything we know about the lost city of Atlantis comes from the work of one man, the Greek philosopher Plato. Then he made a second, stranger discovery: amateur explorers are still actively searching for this sunken city, based entirely on the clues Plato left behind. Meet Me in Atlantis (Dutton) is Adams's enthralling account of his quest to solve one of history's greatest mysteries; a travelogue that takes readers to fascinating locations to meet irresistible characters; and a deep, often humorous look at the human longing to rediscover a lost world.

Formal agreements with Union Pacific Railway, a shopping cart ordinance and hookah lounge ban update all face the Tehachapi City Council at its meeting at 6 p.m. on Feb 17 at 300 South Robinson St. City staff will ask the council to formalize what it has dubbed a "gentleman's agreement" with Union Pacific to use Tehachapi's "H" Street water turnout in the railroad's efforts to deliver water to the town of Keene. According to the staff report by Public Works Director Jon Curry, Union Pacific has been using the city's distribution system for at least 40 years to access its water supply in its hauling service.
