JF Ptak Science Books Quick Post
Hutchinson’s Splendour of the heavens; a popular authoritative astronomy, by Theodore Philips and William Steavenson, was a splendid popular work filled with fine images, some of which were rather unusual. One that I thought I had to share was the f=one below, which contains the first time that I have seen the phrase “Our Puny Earth!” in a non-comic book. It is also a nice graphical display of data underneath the “puny Earth” bit–enjoy.
