National Treasure Hunt: One Step Short of Crazy

  • Big Blue Marble Bookstore 551 Carpenter Lane Philadelphia, PA, 19119 United States (map)

Join us in our second-floor reading room for a “one step short of crazy” introduction to a new kind of treasure hunt! What started as a simple podcast called National Treasure Hunt (NTH) has expanded to include a book dedicated to exploring the National Treasure films in a new way. Striking a balance between entertainment, education, and thought-provoking discussion, authors and franchise experts Aubrey Paris and Emily Black provide an interdisciplinary examination rooted in the storylines of both films, diving deeper into the many historical, scientific, cultural, and ethical analyses previewed on the show. The result is a fascinating piece of "edutainment" media geared toward high school and college-aged history and liberal arts students, as well as National Treasure fans, pop culture enthusiasts, history buffs, and Nicolas Cage supporters. In the end, don’t we all want to know what’s on page forty-seven?
