Synopsis

Astronomy, Without A Telescope: A Guide To The Constellations And Introduction To The Study Of The Heavens With The Unassisted Sight is a book written by E. Walter Maunder and originally published in 1904. The book is a comprehensive guide to the constellations and an introduction to the study of the heavens using only the naked eye, without the aid of a telescope. The book is divided into two parts. The first part provides an overview of the constellations and their history, including their origins and the myths and legends associated with them. The second part of the book focuses on the study of the heavens using the naked eye, including how to observe the stars and planets, how to measure their positions, and how to use this information to understand the movements of the heavens.Throughout the book, Maunder provides clear and concise explanations of complex astronomical concepts, making the book accessible to readers with little or no background in astronomy. He also includes numerous illustrations and diagrams to help readers visualize the constellations and the movements of the heavens.Overall, Astronomy, Without A Telescope is a valuable resource for anyone interested in astronomy, whether they are a beginner or an experienced astronomer. It provides a comprehensive introduction to the constellations and the study of the heavens using only the naked eye, making it an ideal guide for amateur astronomers and stargazers alike.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
