Journey to the Center of Our Galaxy: A Voyage in Space and Time |
Author: Davis, Joel:
ISBN: 0809238470
Description: Contemporary Books 1991 1991 600 g; XVI, 336 pages, includes appendices, glossary of astronomical and physical terms, bibliography, index. Illustrated with colour plates, black-and-white plates, and black-and-white line drawings. Colour illustrated paperback binding. Trivial handling marks, otherwise in excellent condition. "The author's fascinating account of the quest to understand a galaxy is presented as a journey in three parts. The first journey is one of the imagination, exploring how three generations of science-fiction writers (Asimov, Niven, and Benford) have envisaged the heart of the galaxy. Next is a journey in time, from the philosophers of ancient Sumer and Greece through the scientists of the 20th century. Finally, Davis charts a 300,000 light year "physical" voyage from the outer reaches of the galaxy to the monstrous black hole we have learned is at its centre." -- rear panel blurb Astronomy
