A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

In fact, men first realized from the majestic and relatively simple motions of the heavenly bodies that the universe is a universe of order and, therefore, that science is possible. If the sky had been always cloudy, if observations could not have extended beyond the exceedingly complex and varying terrestrial phenomena, it is probable that many centuries would have passed before scientists would have arrived at the point of view which was necessary for the development of those ideas which have led to the wonderful discoveries of modern times. It is appropriate, therefore, that a book on Astronomy should, among other things, show the connection of celestial phenomena with the important intellectual achievements of civilized man, a phase of the subject which has not been neglected in this work. C. There are two chief features to science the making of observations, and the fitting of them into an organized whole. In this text detailed instructions have been given so that the reader may make such of these observations as do not require the use of instruments, but it is evident that such observations can not add much to the worlds knowledge at the present time.
