FASCINATING . . . MEMORABLE . . . REVEALING . . . PERHAPS THE BEST OF CARL SAGAN'S BOOKS.
--The Washington Post Book World (front page review)
In Cosmos, the late astronomer Carl Sagan cast his gaze over the magnificent mystery of the Universe and made it accessible to millions of people around the world. Now in this stunning sequel, Carl Sagan completes his revolutionary journey through space and time.
Future generations will look back on our epoch as the time when the human race finally broke into a radically new frontier--space. In Pale Blue Dot Sagan traces the spellbinding history of our launch into the cosmos and assesses the future that looms before us as we move out into our own solar system and on to distant galaxies beyond. The exploration and eventual settlement of other worlds is neither a fantasy nor luxury, insists Sagan, but rather a necessary condition for the survival of the human race.
"TAKES READERS FAR BEYOND Cosmos . . . Sagan sees humanity's future in the stars."
--Chicago Tribune

Accounting for the enormous and amazing development cosmology has made in the past ten years, this long awaited second edition of Malcolm Longair's highly appreciated textbook has been extensively and thoroughly updated.It tells the story of modern astrophysical cosmology from the perspective of one of its most important and fundamental problems a " how did the galaxies come about? Longair uses this approach to introduce the whole of what may be called "classical cosmology." Moreover he describes how the study of the origin of galaxies and larger-scale structures in the Universe has provided us with unique and direct information about the physics of the very early Universe.The material is presented in an informal pedagogical manner. This includes a comprehensive introduction to relativistic astrophysics needed for the clarification of cosmological ideas.

With Astronomy Today, Sixth Edition, trusted authors Eric Chaisson and Steve McMillan communicate their excitement about astronomy and awaken students to the universe around them. Thoroughly updated, the revised edition focuses on the process of scientific discovery and scientific method, making “how we know what we know” a more integral part of the text with attention to clearly and concisely presenting scientific terms to the non-science student. In addition, the authors have taken great care to identify places where they could clarify or simplify an explanation, better define a term, and discuss the process used in making a discovery. This edition offers the most complete and innovative learning package available for one- or two-semester introductory courses in astronomy.

Dr. Plait created his popular web site: http://www.badastronomy.com/index.html, to debunk bad astronomy in popular culture. This website proved popular, which led to this first book by Plait, that carries on from the website and in a detailed and clear fashion criticises and disproves popular myths and misconceptions relating to astronomy, and promotes science as a means of explaining the skies.

The work describes 24 common astronomical fallacies, including the beliefs that the Coriolis effect determines the direction that water drains in a bathtub, and that planetary alignments can cause disaster on Earth. The author sharply and convincingly dismisses astrology, creationism, and UFO sightings, and explains the principles behind basic general concepts (the Big Bang, why the sky is blue, etc.).

With wit, humor, and an infectious love of astronomy that could win over even the science-phobic, this fun and fascinating book reminds us that outer space is anything but remote. The scientist behind the popular website badastronomy.com, Philip Plait presents some of the most fearsome end-of-the-world calamities (for instance, incoming asteroids and planet-swallowing black holes), demystifies the scientific principles at work behind them, and gives us the odds that any of them will step out of the realm of sci-fi to disrupt our quiet corner of the cosmos. The result is a book that is both terrifying and entertaining-a tour of the violent universe we live in, written with an enthusiasm that every stargazer will appreciate.

The recent years have seen breathtaking progress in technology, especially in the receiver and digital technologies relevant for radio astronomy, which has at the same time advanced to shorter wavelengths. This is the updated and completely revised 5th edition of the most used introductory text in radio astronomy. It presents a unified treatment of the entire field from centimeter to sub-millimeter wavelengths. Topics covered include instruments, sensitivity considerations, observational methods and interpretations of the data recorded with both single dishes and interferometers. This text is useful to both students and experienced practicing astronomers. Besides making major updates and additions throughout the book, the authors have re-organized a number of chapters to more clearly separate basic theory from rapidly evolving practical aspects. Further, problem sets have been added at the end of each chapter.

《崇祯历书》是明朝政府组织、来华耶稣会士参与编纂的靠前部系统介绍西方天文学的大型科技古籍，抢先发售向中国介绍了西方自古希腊以来在天文学方面所取得的成果，尤其包括第谷、哥白尼、开普勒和伽利略等近代天文学开创者们的成果，是中西科学交流目前的一部经典性著作，同时也是推动中国科学近代化起步的一部关键性著作，是当代研究中国科技史、中西科技与文化交流史、中国天主教史的重要原始文献。然而，由于全书不同部分在明末的编写时间不一，入清之后又屡经修改和重编，存世的早期版本一方面较为稀见，另一方面彼此差异甚大。实现对该书的通校，一方面可以让我们了解该书在明末的原貌，另一方面则可以揭示该书在清初的内容变化，从而为现代研究者提供一份而容易获得的版本，具有重要的学术价值。对该书进行通校，这在学术界还是靠前次，具有创新性。

自然科学と哲学・思想の関わりを中心に、中国・漢代のオピニオンリーダーたちの科学思想や、人文学中の自然科学的な要素を分析しようというもの。

日本独自の暦を初めて作った渋川春海をはじめ、海外の知と格闘し、暦や宇宙の研究に尽力した「江戸の天文学者」達の思索をたどる。
「日本の天文学」の大転換は、江戸時代に起こった。日本独自の暦を初めて作った渋川春海、西洋天文学の導入を目指した徳川吉宗と麻田剛立、全国の測量で名を馳せた伊能忠敬、地動説に取り組んだ理論家の高橋至時、「機械おたく」の商人の間重富、シーボルト事件で獄死した悲運の秀才高橋景保…。先行するヨーロッパや中国の知識と格闘し、暦と宇宙の研究に情熱を燃やした江戸時代の天文学者たちの人生と思索をたどると、日本の宇宙観の変遷が見えてくる！

本书为国家自然科学基金项目研究成果。《明实录》是明代历朝官修的编年体史书，书中记录了从明太祖到明熹宗共十五代皇帝、约两百五十年的大量历史资料，具有重要史学价值，是研究明代历史的基础史籍之一。《明实录》中保存了大量的天象记录，是历代正史天文等志之外，中国古代优选的天象记录宝库，这些天象记录，对于历史学、科技史，甚至现代科学研究，都有不可替代的作用。本书以史语所影印整理的原北平图书馆藏红格手抄本《明实录》为底本，并参照《明实录校勘》，辑录出《明实录》中记载的天象，对其进行了勘误，还补充了《崇祯实录》和《崇祯长编》中的天象内容。天文内容比较专业，在史书编纂、传抄过程中容易发生错误，像数字、干支这类错误，后世很难根据文意更正，本书作者通过对这些天象记录进行全面天文计算验证，指出其中记载的错误，并用校勘记标出，进行了改正，对《明实录》中所记载的天象进行了还原。本书以明代皇帝为顺序，按年月对天象记录进行编排和校勘，天象记录清晰明了。本书对古籍整理校勘工作和明代历史、中国古代天文学史的研究有重要作用。

Abū Ma’͑šar’s Great Introduction to Astrology (mid-ninth century) is the most comprehensive and influential text on astrology in the Middle Ages. In addition to presenting astrological doctrine, it provides a detailed justification for the validity of astrology and establishes its basis within the natural sciences of the philosophers. These two volumes provide a critical edition of the Arabic text; a facing English translation, which includes references to the divergences in the twelfth-century Latin translations of John of Seville and Hermann of Carinthia (Volume 1); and the large fragment of a Greek translation (edited by David Pingree). Comprehensive Arabic, English, Greek and Latin glossaries enable one to trace changes in vocabulary and terminology as the text passed from one culture to another. (Volume 2.)

This open access book explores commentaries on an influential text of pre-Copernican astronomy in Europe. It features essays that take a close look at key intellectuals and how they engaged with the main ideas of this qualitative introduction to geocentric cosmology.
Johannes de Sacrobosco compiled his Tractatus de sphaera during the thirteenth century in the frame of his teaching activities at the then recently founded University of Paris. It soon became a mandatory text all over Europe. As a result, a tradition of commentaries to the text was soon established and flourished until the second half of the 17th century. Here, readers will find an informative overview of these commentaries complete with a rich context. The essays explore the educational and social backgrounds of the writers. They also detail how their careers developed after the publication of their commentaries, the institutions and patrons they were affiliated with, what their agenda was, and whether and how they actually accomplished it.
The editor of this collection considers these scientific commentaries as genuine scientific works. The contributors investigate them here not only in reference to the work on which it comments but also, and especially, as independent scientific contributions that are socially, institutionally, and intellectually contextualized around their authors.
