The  Story of Astronomy
by Heather Couper and Nigel Henbest

This extraordinary book traces the story of how humans have interacted with the wonders of the sky, beginning with early superstitions, and following the development of the science of astronomy to culminate in today's cutting-edge cosmology

Nigel and Heather researched 29 locations worldwide, from Beijing's ancient observatory to the giant radio telescope in Puerto Rico that has searched for alien signals. Twenty-five of the world's leading experts in astronomy and astronomical history were interviewed for the book

The History of Astronomy also features over 250 stunning images, from the world's earliest photograph to full-colour pictures of leading astronomical sites and exquisite views of the wonders of the heavens
