Teach Yourself Books: Astronomy by David Evans

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 1975. Hodder and Stoughton. Illustrated.

The development of astronomy in recent years has been both rapid and spectacular. Radio astronomy, satellites, planetary probes - all have been dramatically reported in the media - culminating in the live television coverage of manned lunar landings. This book has been written to systematically set out the science that lies behind all this activity and to describe in language intelligible to all, the range and scope of the astronomer's exploration and study of the sky.
