Product Description

Nature

"Glass has written an absorbing book, which I strongly recommend."


Review

Glass has written an absorbing book, which I strongly recommend. (Nature )

An excellent read. This book contains eight short biographies of astro-physicists from Galileo to Hubble, not only telling of their academic achievements but bring them to life with their personal stories. The extraordinary ability and drive of the eight astronomers comes over in this book as does their hard work and dedication. Recommended for anyone with an interest in the history of science this book manages to be both informative and entertaining. A. Brown, Brighton, UK, 2006

I am convinced that this book has the potential of popular appeal, not only to the professional and amateur astronomical community and to historians of science, but to the general reader. (mnassa Vol 65 )
