This book gives us a remarkable inside view of the people who helped to forge some of the most sensitive tools of modern science: the astronomical observatories. It recounts the efforts of scientists to promote, design, and build these magnificent instruments despite political and technical obstacles. Interwoven into the fabric of their human story is the story of the scientific challenges posed by these observatories, most of which orbit above the earth's obscuring atmosphere. We are invited to view these telescopes not merely as technological wonders but as the life's labor and achievement of outstanding individuals. ; 9-3/8" Tall; 221 pages. 0674174356.
