This book traces the development of astronomy as a scientific discipline
through profiles of Ptolemy, Copernicus, Brahe, Kepler,
Galileo, Newton, and Herschel. After an introduction
on the beginnings of the science, each successive chapter is devoted to
the work of one man. . . . The easy-to-read, interesting text occupies
about two-thirds of the page. The wide margins include additional biographical
or astronomical information and definitions of relevant terms. Plentiful
black-and-white photographs.
