Description
Excerpt from The Universe Around UsThe present book contains a brief account, written in simple language, of the methods and results of modern astronomical research, both observational and theo retical. Special attention has been given to problems of cosmogony and evolution, and to the general structure of the universe. My ideal, perhaps never wholly attainable, has been that of making the entire book intelligible to readers with no special scientific knowledge.About the PublisherForgotten show more Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
