Photographs from actual antiquarian celestial atlases and prints, many previously unpublished, enrich the text, and a legend accompanies each illustration to explain its astronomical and cartographic features. Also included in the book are discussions of non-European celestial maps and chapters on early American influences and celestial map-collecting. With the construction of the International Space Station, and new plans for manned missions to the Moon, Mars and beyond, there is renewed interest in the heavens. An ever-increasing number of people are fascinated with the science of space and are becoming amateur astronomers. Antiquarian map societies are prospering, and celestial maps are now viewed as a specialty of map collecting. The beauty and awe generated by the celestial void captures our imagination and delights our aesthetic sense. 0aSCIENCE (GENERAL). 0aASTRONOMY.14aPOPULAR SCIENCE.24aASTRONOMY, OBSERVATIONS AND TECHNIQUES.24aPOPULAR SCIENCE IN ASTRONOMY.24aASTRONOMY, ASTROPHYSICS AND COSMOLOGY.24aHISTORY AND PHILOSOPHICAL FOUNDATIONS OF PHYSICS.2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z9780387716688 0aSpringer Praxis Books40uhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-0-387-71669-5zVer el texto completo en las instalaciones del CICY
