Originally published in 1900, this book presents a collection of
fascinating lectures collated from the manuscripts of Professor
John Couch Adams. The lectures, which were taught at the University
of Cambridge between the years 1860-89, aimed 'to illustrate
geometrically the analytical processes' of the Lunar Theory and
'render them more comprehensible'. The book contains a total of
eighteen lectures, ranging from accelerations of the Moon relative
to the Earth to the parallactic inequality, all presenting the
principal theorems from the turn of the century as well as in turn
highlighting the tangible array of challenges still faced by
physicists in the field. This book will serve as a useful reference
tool for researchers and students investigating the history of the
Lunar Theory and will be of considerable value to anyone interested
in physics, cosmology and astronomy.
Originally published during the early part of the twentieth
century, the Cambridge Manuals of Science and Literature were
designed to provide concise introductions to a broad range of
topics. They were written by experts for the general reader and
combined a comprehensive approach to knowledge with an emphasis on
accessibility. First published in 1914, R. A. Sampson's book The
Sun presents an early twentieth-century overview of the facts,
theories and astronomical phenomena relating to the Sun.
