Very nice copy. ; Trade PB; 8vo - 8" to 9" tall; 510 pp; The ancient Egyptians regarded the sky as a kind of tent canopy. Thirty centuries later, astronomer William Herschel argued that the sun belongs to a huge cluster of stars (a galaxy, as we call it today) and charted great swaths of intergalactic space through a telescope. How the human species slowly awakened to the vast reaches of space and time is the story absorbingly told by popular science writer Ferris. Ferris uses historical anecdotes to relate astronomical discoveries and the foibles of their discoverers in a successful attempt to show the ``big names'' of science as real persons, warts and all.. more information

Kluwer Academic Publishers. New. 2004. Hardcover. ISBN: 1402009518. New, bright, pictorial covers. Unread, unblemished. ; While the Hubble Space Telescope and its cousins have garnered the lion's share of public attention, small telescopes are still useful for a number of areas of research. The motivation for these three volumes-Perceptions, Productivities, and Policies; The Telescopes We Use; and Science in the Shadows of Giants-in the words of one of the contributors, is "to provide a vision for the future of small telescopes. " Oswalt presents 70 papers that look at the public and public policy aspects of small telescope research, extol the benefits of current research methods, and examine areas of research into which small telescope use can fruitfully expand. The use of small telescopes is suggested for research ranging from investigating our solar system and nearby stars to large-scale cosmological issues of gravitational lensing and gamma ray bursts.
