	Orbitting Mirror
		Simply stated, mankind will put a large mirror in orbit around Mars to concentrate extra sunlight on the Martian polar caps in an effort to release carbon dioxide and whatever other greenhuse gases are frozen in the ice.
		A mylar and aluminum solar sail type mirror is suggested by Zubrin and Mackay, who by balancing light and gravitational forces came up with a position of 214000 km behind Mars to illuminate the south pole with 27 extra terrawatts of luminosity.
		Bringing the roughly 200,000 tons of material for the mirror from earth is implausible given the current space program, however manufacturing the mirror from space has been suggested.

		The red thread that runs through her book is the folly, pride and irrationality of behavior that she sees as characteristically human: "For mankind is ever the same and nothing is lost out of nature, though everything is altered," as the quote from John Dryden says on one of the first pages of the book.
		The title itself reflects this philosophical position: the 14th century as a distant mirror for the 20th century.
		Despite this large-scale vision, she also succeeds in bringing this "distant mirror" as close to the reader as possible.

	Theology Today - Vol 37, No. 1 - April 1980 - BOOK REVIEW - A Distant Mirror: The Calamitous 14th Century
		In her latest work she leaves the twentieth century only to find in the fourteenth century a distant mirror of the twentieth, with its surface glitter of kings, castles, and crusades, but its fl undercoating of disease, wars, atrocities, deaths, decline, and spiritual agony.
		This huge history is a remarkable achievement not only for its literary skill and panoramic sweep, but for the range of subjects introduced-from social and cultural history woven into the tapestry which depicts largely the world of French chivalry and reflects the concerns of the chroniclers, such as the ever-recurring Froissart.
		Nevertheless, this book is a splendid work of art, and in terms of skillful writing and tremendous public impact might well be the object of the envy of her academic detractors.

		"A Distant Mirror", by Barbara Tuchman is a book that deals with the 14th century.
		At this time, "The energies of medieval Europe were devoted to fighting internecine wars and warding off the plague.
		This is why I think this book makes a very important part of the time of chivalry.

		Eventually, of course, what the threeof us all ended up wearing were bluejeans and sweats.
		So, after remembering only one little dress, I found that I could rememberdistinct pieces of my life — a life that could almost have been livedby a different person, so distant do portions of it seem now.
		Most likelythis list could go on and on, a catalogue of the outfits that somewherealong the way have shaped my own sensibilities, my own ideas about who Iam and who I'm not and what I feel comfortable wearing.

		In A Distant Mirror, historian Barbara Tuchman reveals in harrowing detail a "tortured century" with parallels to our own.
		People in the fourteenth century were subjected to natural and man-made disasters, including the Hundred Years' War, the Crusades, insurrection, lawlessness, the Schism of the Church, massacres of Jewish people, and the Black Death, which claimed the lives of nearly half the population living between India and Iceland.
		I am now ordering other Tuchman books to see how she handles man's affairs in centuries distant from that enjoyed by Enguerrand de Coucy.

		This phrase (also my title) is borrowed from Barbara Tuchman, A Distant Mirror: The Calamitous 14th Century (New York: Ballentine Books, 1978).
		Rather, I have in mind the specific form of storytelling and the kinds of anecdotal sermons that have become widespread in contemporary preaching.
		Pulpit storytellers may have good reasons for turning away from current academic theology, which is often preoccupied with esoteric concerns and abstract methodologies that seem at best remotely related to the church.
