Description

An eloquent and accessible journey through our evolving notions of the cosmos from "the best science writer of his generation" (Washington Post).

From the second-century celestial models of Ptolemy to modern-day research institutes and quantum theory, our perception of the universe -- and out place in it -- has changed drastically. This classic book offers a breathtaking tour of astronomy and the brilliant, eccentric personalities who have shaped it through the ages.

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.
