Atlas of Great Comets 1st Edition by Ronald Stoyan (PDF)

Description

Throughout the ages, comets, enigmatic and beautiful wandering objects that appear for weeks or months, have alternately fascinated and terrified humankind. The result of five years of careful research, Atlas of Great Comets is a generously illustrated reference on thirty of the greatest comets that have been witnessed and documented since the Middle Ages. Special attention is given to the cultural and scientific impact of each appearance, supported by a wealth of images, from woodcuts, engravings, historical paintings and artifacts, to a showcase of the best astronomical photos and images. Following the introduction, giving the broad historical context and a modern scientific interpretation, the Great Comets feature in chronological order. For each, there is a contemporary description of its appearance along with its scientific, cultural and historical significance. Whether you are an armchair astronomer or a seasoned comet-chaser, this spectacular reference deserves a place on your shelf.

⭐I throughly enjoyed reading this book. Anbody interested in comets like myself will not be disapointed

⭐VERY GOOD WELL PRODUCED

⭐Un gran libro si te atraen los cometas y te interesa un poco la historia. Excelente encuadernación e ilustraciones. Escrito en ingles eso sí. Ayudado por el traductor lo estoy disfrutando más de lo que pensaba. Hace un breve pero concisa introducción desde la antigüedad hasta era la moderna y luego se centra en los 30 cometas mas importantes y brillantes de la historia.

⭐Not found.

⭐Trés bel livre; Histoire des cométes et images parfaites. Des pages trés bien écrites. On devrait l’acheter tout de suite s’il y a interet dans ce champ.Federico Manzini

⭐Not found.

⭐The book I received had obviously another life before being in my hands while it had been postd as new. I needed it for some work, otherwise it would have been returned.
