Inhaltsangabe
Throughout history people have sought ways in which to "map" the heavens, often in the form of very beautiful documents. In this highly illustrated book, the author reveals some of the ways in which the structure of the universe has been conceived, explained and depicted. With examples ranging from the Stone Age to the Space Age - ancient observatories, the angelic visions of Dante, images from Copernican revolution, the rationalized heavens of Newton and Flamsteed, through to modern deep space technology - the book offers a challenging exploration of the tension between rigorous scientific knowledge and the continuing search for cause, certainty and harmony in the universe.

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. Paperback edition. There was a simultaneous hard cover edition. Light edge rubbing to the covers. Small label with an ISBN number stuck to the copyright page - presumably covering an incorrect number. A little spotting to the first and last pages with a faint stain at the bottom of the title and facing pages but the pages are otherwise clean and unmarked. First printing. From the collection of Marjorie Powell, a botanist and yachtswoman who lived in Great Shelford, Cambridge. Heavy item so there will be an additional postage charge for overseas orders.
