Worlds in the sky: planetary discoveries from earliest times through Voyager and Magellan
|
|
University of Arizona Press, 1994. 2nd impression of first edition, originally published in 1992. Hard covers, dust jacket. V.g. / Good . Written by an amateur astronomer, this 'history' omits all mention of the discovery of the Transit of Venus by Jeremiah Horrocks: hence the phrase 'earliest times' should not be taken literally, and his coverage of Arabic discoveries is also inadequate. Collectors of astronomical illustrations will be interested to know that at least one of the figures is by the well known astronomical artist Richard Baum of Chester, to whom the book is jointly dedicated. xv, 243, (1) pp., numerous text figures and photographs. more information
