Popular Astronomy : A General Description of the Heavens

Omtale

French astronomer Camille Flammarion (1842–1925) called the study of the heavens 'the science which concerns us most'. His compelling and highly illustrated introduction to astronomy had sold over 100,000 French copies before this English translation appeared in 1894. The 1881 French version, Astronomie populaire, is also reissued in this series.
