To understand the history, accomplishments, failures, and meanings
of astronomy requires a knowledge of what has been said about
astronomy by philosophers, novelists, playwrights, poets,
scientists, and laymen. With this in mind, Astronomically Speaking:
A Dictionary of Quotations on Astronomy and Physics serves as a
guide to what has been said about astronomy through the ages.
Containing approximately 1,550 quotations and numerous
illustrations, this resource is the largest compilation of
astronomy and astrophysics quotations published to date. Devoted to
astronomy and the closely related areas of mathematics and physics,
this resource helps form an accurate picture of these
interconnected disciplines. It is designed as an aid for general
readers with little knowledge of astronomy who are interested in
astronomical topics. Students can use the book to increase their
understanding of the complexity and richness that exists in
scientific disciplines. In addition, experienced scientists will
find it as a handy source of quotes for use in the classroom, in
papers, and in presentations. A quick glance through the table of
contents illustrates the variety of topics discussed. Readers can
quickly and easily access the wit and wisdom of several hundred
scientists, writers, philosophers, poets, and academics using the
comprehensive indexes.
