Doubleday & Company, NY, 1st edition. Hardcover. Fine. "In this splendid marriage of words and illustration, Fred Hoyle, one of the great contemporary astronomers, tells the history of astronomy with incomparable drama and authority. Not only is Astronomy brilliantly readable as first rank history, but the scope of the text and the skillful conception of the more than 400 illustrations and diagrams make this a book for study and reference for many years to come. Hoyle reconstructs the triumphant story of the men who made the great discoveries in astronomy. At the same time, he traces in considerable detail the development of ever more powerful instruments and techniques for examination of the solor system, the stars, our galaxy, and the galaxies beyond.""
