The Science of the Stars by E. Walter Maunder
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 369.53 KB
Overview: This is a concise but comprehensive look at astronomy, including not just the science behind it but the history of past astronomers, including before the use of telescopes.
From the beginning:
“The plan of the present series requires each volume to be complete in about eighty small pages. But no adequate account of the achievements of astronomy can possibly be given within limits so narrow, for so small a space would not suffice for a mere catalogue of the results which have been obtained; and in most cases the result alone would be almost meaningless unless some explanation were offered of the way in which it had been reached. All, therefore, that can be done in a work of the present size is to take the student to the starting-point of astronomy, show him the various roads of research which have opened out from it, and give a brief indication of the character and general direction of each.
