Excerpt from Astronomy for Students and General Readers Astronomy (turnip - a star, and vo'pos - a law) is the science which has to do with the heavenly bodies, their appearances, their nature, and the laws governing their real and their apparent motions.

Excerpt from Astronomy for Schools and General Readers Astronomy is not studied in the lower and intermediate schools of the United States as much as its importance and interest demand. Its phenomena are so striking, so well calculated to awaken thought, and so much objects of common notice, that an intelligent appreciation of their causes and relations is greatly to be desired. This book is believed to be written so that any person of ordinary education and intelligence can understand it. No knowledge of mathematics beyond arithmetic is necessary, except that in a few cases trigonometrical solutions of important problems have been given in foot-notes for the benefit of those who understand such methods. Special effort has been made to render clear the abstruse points in the science, - with what success can be judged from the explanations of the Transit of Venus, the Precession of the Equinoxes, the Tides, etc. Particular care has been taken to distinguish between theories and established facts, even when the former seem to be highly probable; while mere speculations are altogether excluded. The illustrations have been carefully chosen. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Astronomy in a Nutshell: The Chief Facts and Principles Explained in Popular Language for the General Reader and for School How many thousands of educated people, trained in the best schools, or even graduates of the great universities, have made the confession: "I never got a grip on astronomy in my student days. They didn't make it either plain or interesting to me; and now I am sorry for it." The purpose of the writer of this book is to supply the need of such persons, either in school, or at home, after school-days are ended. He does not address himself to special students of the subject - although they, too, may find the book useful at the beginning - but to that vast, intelligent public for whom astronomy is, more or less, a "mystical midland," from which, occasionally, fascinating news comes to their ears. The ordinary text-book is too overladen with technical details, and too summary in its treatment of the general subject, to catch and hold the attention of those who have no special preliminary interest in astronomy.

In the mid-1990s, astronomers made history when they began to find planets orbiting stars in the Milky Way. More than eight hundred planets have been found since then, yet none of them is anything like Earth and none could support life. Now, armed with more powerful technology, planet hunters are racing to find a true twin of Earth. Science writer Michael Lemonick has unique access to these exoplaneteers, as they call themselves, and Mirror Earth unveils their passionate quest. Unlike competitors in other races, Geoff Marcy, Bill Borucki, David Charbonneau, Sara Seager, and others actually consult and cooperate with one another. But only one will be the first to find Earth's twin. Mirror Earth tells the story of their competition.

Excerpt from Practical Talks by an Astronomer The present volume has not been designed as a systematic treatise on astronomy. There are many excellent books of that kind, suitable for serious students as well as the general reader; but they are necessarily somewhat dry and unattractive, because they must aim at completeness. Completeness means detail, and detail means dryness. But the science of astronomy contains subjects that admit of detached treatment; and as many of these are precisely the ones of greatest general interest, it has seemed well to select several, and describe them in language free from technicalities.

To understand the history, accomplishments, failures, and meanings of astronomy requires a knowledge of what has been said about astronomy by philosophers, novelists, playwrights, poets, scientists, and laymen. With this in mind, Astronomically Speaking: A Dictionary of Quotations on Astronomy and Physics serves as a guide to what has been said about astronomy through the ages. Containing approximately 1,550 quotations and numerous illustrations, this resource is the largest compilation of astronomy and astrophysics quotations published to date. Devoted to astronomy and the closely related areas of mathematics and physics, this resource helps form an accurate picture of these interconnected disciplines. It is designed as an aid for general readers with little knowledge of astronomy who are interested in astronomical topics. Students can use the book to increase their understanding of the complexity and richness that exists in scientific disciplines. In addition, experienced scientists will find it as a handy source of quotes for use in the classroom, in papers, and in presentations. A quick glance through the table of contents illustrates the variety of topics discussed. Readers can quickly and easily access the wit and wisdom of several hundred scientists, writers, philosophers, poets, and academics using the comprehensive indexes.
