Product Information
Astronomy is one of the oldest sciences, and one which has repeatedly led to fundamental changes in our view of the world. This book covers the history of our study of the cosmos from prehistory through to a survey of modern astronomy and astrophysics (sure to be of interest to future historians of twentieth-century astronomy). It does not attempt to cover everything, but deliberately concentrates on the important themes and topics. These include stellar astronomy in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, at the time subordinate to the study of the solar system, but the source of many important concepts in modern astronomy, and the Copernican revolution, which led to the challenge of ancient authorities in many areas, not just astronomy. This is an essential text for students of the history of science and for students of astronomy who require a historical background to their studies.

Reviews
' ... this book is one of the most comprehensive histories of the subject I have seen ... a highly readable and fascinating account'. Modern Astronomer, ' … will appeal to readers well beyond the university to whom it has been designed. It is a book to peruse for intellectual enjoyment, and to treasure for reference.' M. T. Black, Endeavour, "...a serious one-volume history of astronomy, presenting a balanced view across its entire field of coverage....Hundreds of well-chosen illustrations make this volume a pleasure to read, browse through, or skim.... The price is right, too." ISIS, '… the book is well written, informative and interesting … it admirably lives up to its title. If you want a concise general history of astronomy, this is the book. It is readable, well written, and edited by a leader in the field.' Jon Reynolds, Journal of the British Astronomical Association, 'An astronomer once remarked that they would love to know more about the history of their subject but that they were too busy making it. Well, this book from Cambridge University Press could be the solution to that problem. Michael Hoskin, editor of the Journal for the History of Astronomy, and a well-known and accomplished historian has done an admirable job in editing this volume. The reviewer has no hesitation in recommending this book to anyone interested in astronomy or the history of science.'A. D.

Andrews, Irish Astronomical Journal, 'Even so, it maintains the clarity and elegance of exposition of its progenitor ... For some years now, there has not been a single authoritative and readable history of astronomy currently in print. But the Cambridge Concise History, and its Illustrated History forebear, fill that gap with signal success.'Allan Chapman, The Observatory, ‘… the book is well written, informative and interesting … it admirably lives up to its title. If you want a concise general history of astronomy, this is the book. It is readable, well written, and edited by a leader in the field.’Jon Reynolds, Journal of the British Astronomical Association, '... the book is well written, informative and interesting ... it admirably lives up to its title. If you want a concise general history of astronomy, this is the book. It is readable, well written, and edited by a leader in the field.'Jon Reynolds, Journal of the British Astronomical Association, "...the book has much to recommend it. The narrative is well written and engaging. The level of technical detail is not too daunting, considering the intended audience. There are many monchrome illustrations, most of which effectively augment the text..."
