The Concise Knowledge Astronomy, published in 1898, was one of a
series of popular reference books by experts. Agnes Clerke (1842
1907) was a successful author of books on astronomy and its history
(three of her other works being reissued in this series), and her
co-authors were astrophysicist Alfred Fowler, an internationally
renowned expert in spectroscopy, and J. Elland Gore, a Fellow of
the Royal Astronomical Society and expert on variable stars.
Illustrated by over 100 photographs and drawings, the book aims to
provide the educated non-specialist reader with an understanding of
current astronomical knowledge. The application of new
technologies, such as photography and spectroscopy, to astronomy in
the nineteenth century had led to many new discoveries, and public
interest in the subject had greatly increased. The book is divided
into four parts - the history of astronomy, astronomical movements
and instruments, the solar system, and sidereal astronomy.
