Astronomically Speaking: A Dictionary of Quotations on Astronomy and Physics (Speaking)

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
To fully understand astronomy-its history, accomplishments and failures-it is important to know what has been said by the authoritative and the not-so-authoritative philosophers, novelists, playwrights, poets, scientists and laymen about astronomy. As the largest compilation of astronomy quotations published to date, Astronomically Speaking assumes a particularly important role. It is designed as an aid for the general reader who has an interest in astronomy as well as for the experienced scientist. The general reader can form a pretty accurate picture of astronomy, and the scientist will find the book useful as a source of quotes, which can be applied in the classroom, in papers, and in presentations.
