This book summarizes the gathering of information on and the
growing understanding of M33 from the 1920s, when Hubble first
determined its true nature, to the 21st century, when the Hubble
Telescope probed deeply into its many secrets. With its regular
symmetrical spiral structure, and its being not tilted too much and
near enough to allow detailed studies of its stars, M33 is
well-suited for the study of a typical spiral galaxy. In this work,
Paul Hodge places current research on M33 (and similar galaxies) in
both historical and global perspectives. The book is written in a
language accessible for specialists and non-specialists, for
professional and amateur astronomers, for scientists and the
curious public and, most importantly, for students.
