Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Star-Gazer´s Hand-Book: A Brief Guide for Amateur Students of Astronomy In presenting the subject of Astronomy at Teachers´ Institutes and similar gatherings, I have frequently been requested to recommend a handbook for ready reference by which one pursuing the subject without a teacher might not only learn the general facts of Astronomy, but also trace out the constellations and learn the mythological stories in connection with them. I know of several excellent books on the subject, but none containing this last-named feature - and I decided to write one. I stated this fact to a Teachers´ Institute (in Montgomery Co., Pa.), and stated also that, owing to other work in hand, I could not do this within a year, whereupon the teachers to the number of three hundred and forty-two sent in their names as advance subscribers, if I would prepare the book immediately. This request could not be ignored, and hence this booklet is issued a year sooner than intended by the writer. In the first part I have given in a form as condensed as possible, the main astronomical facts according to the latest discoveries, but have made no pretense of entering into higher mathematical Astronomy. Those wishing to become specialists in the subject cannot confine themselves to this little book. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
