'… a hardbound book of such size and attractiveness for £25 is remarkable value … a volume that historians, librarians and enthusiasts will want to have within easy reach for many years to come.' P. D. Hingley, Astronomy and Geophysics, ‘The illustrated history of astronomy is the best account of the history of astronomy in one volume to date.’Albert Van Helden, Journal of History and Astronomy, '… has the weight of authority you would expect from a combination of Cambridge University Press and an author who was formerly head of the Department of History and Philosophy of Science in Cambridge. Everything from Stonehenge to the Hubble Space Telescope, with potted biographies as well as great ideas, good illustrations, a useful glossary and a chronology.' Good Book Guide, '... beautifully produced, sumptuously illustrated, well organised and accessible.' Allan Chapman, Astronomy Now, '… a hardbound book of such size and attractiveness for 25 is remarkable value … a volume that historians, librarians and enthusiasts will want to have within easy reach for many years to come.' P. D. Hingley, Astronomy and Geophysics, ‘The illustrations (both colour and black and white) are not only beautifully reproduced, but opportunity has been taken to use some which have never or rarely been seen before … This is a book that has been produced at a price that is very reasonable, and I would recommend it to all who have an interest in the history of astronomy.’A. J. Kinder, Journal of the British Astronomical Association, '… the best account of the history of astronomy in one volume to date.' Albert van Helden, Journal for the History of Astronomy, ‘The Cambridge Illustrated History of Astronomy is a book that professional as well as amateur historians of science should have on their bookshelves … beautifully illustrated … You will find yourself sitting down to glance at this book and end up reading late into the night … well written and a wonderful source of information.’Raymond F.

Synopsis
Expertly written and lavishly illustrated, The Cambridge Illustrated History of Astronomy offers a unique account of astronomical theory and practice from antiquity to the present day. How did Moslems of the Middle Ages use astronomy to calculate the direction of Mecca from far-flung corners of the Islamic world? Who was the only ancient Greek to suspect that the earth might revolve around the sun? How did Christopher Columbus abuse his knowledge of a lunar eclipse predicted by an astronomical almanac? Packed with anecdotes and intriguing detail, this book describes how we observed the sky and interpreted what we saw at different periods of history; how this influenced our beliefs and mythology; and how great astronomers contributed to what we now know. The result is a lively and highly visual history of astronomy - a compelling read for specialists and non-specialists alike., Designed as a how to” guide on reading and interpreting the 2005 National Electrical Code®, Applied Codeology is a working companion to the Code®, written by the experts at the NJATC. Apprentices, journeyman, contractors, engineers, designers, and estimators alike will benefit from this positive, systematic approach to understanding the Code®. Readers are encouraged to first examine a section from the Code® Book before referring to the correlating annotations in this manual. Where questions are used to illustrate the applied codeology” system, users are requested to locate the answer in the suggested Code® article before checking the answer in this book. This methodical handling of and practice using the Code® Book encourages proficiency in users, and soon they will be able to decide where the answer is located before the Code® Book is even opened.
