4.0 out of 5 stars
As advertised--Emphasis on historical images,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Star Struck 1000 Years of the Art and Science of Astronomy (Hardcover)
The book is numerous reproductions of astronomical images, with reasonably informative captions, plus a text that briefly covers the high points. Illustrations are grouped by topic, so images of comets (for instance) are all together. The emphasis seems to be on historical images, rather than current ones. Some are arguably not astronomy, such as a series of images showing the days of creation through a Middle Ages mindset. Image reproduction quality is good, and the text is decent, though not brilliant. I'm mildly disappointed that the work of Chesley Bonestell in the mid-20th Century doesn't get featured.
