Title: Great Astronomers
Author: Robert Stawell Ball
Narrator: Ella Porter
Format: Unabridged
Length: 9 hrs and 12 mins
Language: English
Release date: 12-31-17
Publisher: Audioliterature
Genres: Science & Technology, Technology
Publisher's Summary:
The positions of the stars indicated the time to plough, and the time to sow. To the mariner who was seeking a way across the trackless ocean, the heavenly bodies offered the only reliable marks by which his path could be guided. There was, accordingly, a stimulus both from intellectual curiosity and from practical necessity to follow the movements of the stars. In the ensuing chapters we have endeavoured to sketch the lives and the work of the great philosophers, by whose labours the science of astronomy has been created. We shall commence with Ptolemy, who, after the foundations of the science had been laid by Hipparchus, gave to astronomy the form in which it was taught throughout the Middle Ages. We shall next see Copernicus. We then pass to the genius of Galileo and Newton, and afterwards we shall trace the careers of other more recent discoverers.

European astronomer
The book has many details that get lost over time as we create more history. The book was written 100 years ago & the author knew Lord Ross's. The later chapters only dealt with astronomer rival's from Grennwitch but on the whole a very interesting history of Astronomy from a perspective viewed a long time ago. Sad part was all illustrations are missing from digital version.
This is fascinating!!!! And it is ...
This is fascinating!!!!
And it is written on a level of interest and high language (like GK Chesterton), which I find stimulating.
terribly printed publication.
Great topic and content, LOUSY publication. No page numbers, no headings, titles, no indentation... Like a cheap computer print off wrapped in a thin cardboard jacket...
Informative, instant access, and free. Thanks!
A great read, especially for free.
Very interesting reading
a very well put together book with outstanding references to the most important people in astronomy up to the time of the book.
