Consisting of separate cases organized by chapter and divided into
independent sections, this is no ordinary history of science book.
Between the Earth and the Heavens is an episodic history of modern
physical sciences covering the chronological development of
physics, chemistry and astronomy since about 1860. Integrating
historical authenticity and modern scientific knowledge, the cases
within deal with the often surprising connections between science
done in the laboratory (physics, chemistry) and science based on
observation (astronomy, cosmology).Between the Earth and the
Heavens presupposes an interest in and a certain knowledge of the
physical sciences, but it is written for non-specialists and
includes only a limited number of equations which are all clearly
explained in simple terms. For readers who wish to delve further,
the book is fully documented and ends with a bibliography of cited
quotations and other relevant sources.
