Synopsis
From the second-century celestial models of Ptolemy to modern-day research institutes and quantum theory, this classic book offers a breathtaking tour of astronomy and the brilliant, eccentric personalities who have shaped it. From the first time mankind had an inkling of the vast space that surrounds us, those who study the universe have had to struggle against political and religious preconceptions. They have included some of the most charismatic, courageous, and idiosyncratic thinkers of all time. In Coming of Age in the Milky Way, Timothy Ferris uses his unique blend of rigorous research and captivating narrative skill to draw us into the lives and minds of these extraordinary figures, creating a landmark work of scientific history.

    This seller boasts a strong customer promise statement and for me has lived up to every word. The book arrived very, very quickly and in pristine condition...far better than expected. It was well packaged to minimize the risk of shipping damage and the communication was excellent. I definitely recommend this seller. Thank you!!!

    Excellent seller—got the item 3 days early (pleasantly surprised in time for Christmas). The item was in perfect shape and exactly as pictured and what I expected. It was well-packaged for protection and was a good price. Would buy from this seller again.

    coming of age in the milky way by timothy ferris

    a very engaging book! It was recommended to me and I liked it, which is not always the case. Often somewhat technical books will get dry and end up at the bottom of my nightstand stack half read, but not this one!
