Popular Books on Astronomy

By William Tyler Olcott

_Excellently arranged, and copiously ill.u.s.trated, these little manuals--real field-books--should prove valuable for all who want to become familiar with the stars_

A Field Book of the Stars

_16mo. With Fifty Diagrams._

To facilitate the fascinating recreation of star-gazing the author has designed this field-book. All matters of a technical or theoretical nature have been omitted. Only what the reader can observe with the naked eye or with an opera-gla.s.s have been included in it. Simplicity and brevity have been aimed at, the main idea being that whatever is bulky or verbose is a hindrance rather than a help when one is engaged in the observation of the heavens.

In Starland with a Three-Inch Telescope

A Conveniently Arranged Guide for the Use of the Amateur Astronomer

_16mo. With Forty Diagrams of the Constellations and Eight of the Moon._

The _raison d'etre_ therefore for the book is convenience and arrangement. The author has found by experience that what the student most needs when he is observing with a telescope, is a page to glance at that will serve as a guide to the object he desires to view, and which affords concise data relative to that object. The diagrams therefore direct the student's vision and the subject-matter affords the necessary information in each case.

Star Lore of All Ages

A Collection of Myths, Legends, and Facts Concerning the Constellations of the Northern Hemisphere

_8vo. Fully Ill.u.s.trated._

Will appeal alike to those who are interested in folk-lore and those who are attracted by astronomy. In it the author has gathered together the curious myths and traditions that have attached themselves from the earliest times to different constellations and even to individual stars.

G.P. PUTNAM'S SONS New York London

The Essence of Astronomy

Things Every One Should Know About the Sun, Moon and Stars

By Edward W. Price

_12mo. Fully Ill.u.s.trated._

Here is a volume quite different from the usual "popular book on astronomy."

It answers in untechnical language the every-day questions of every-day people, the material being so arranged that it is readily available for quick reference use, as well as for interesting consecutive reading.

An individual chapter is devoted to each member of the Solar System. Special s.p.a.ce is given to "Curiosities of the Skies."

The ill.u.s.trations are from photographs taken at the great observatories. The drawings of Mars are the most recent published, being made by Professor Lowell in January, 1914.

The chronological table and annotated bibliography are of real value.

Sun Lore of All Ages

A Collection of Myths and Legends Concerning the Sun and its Worship

By William Tyler Olcott

Author of "Star Lore of All Ages," "A Field Book of the Stars," etc.

_8vo. With 30 Ill.u.s.trations._

A companion volume to _Star Lore of All Ages_ by the same author. It comprises a compilation of the myths, legends, and facts concerning the sun, of equal interest to the lay-reader or to the student.

The literature of the subject is teeming with interest, linked as it is with the life story of mankind from the cradle of the race to the present day, for the solar myth lies at the very foundation of all mythology, and as such must forever claim pre-eminence.

G.P. Putnam's Sons New York London

Astronomy in a Nutsh.e.l.l

The Chief Facts and Principles Explained in Popular Language for General Readers and for Schools

By Garrett P. Serviss

_Cr. 8vo. With 47 Ill.u.s.trations._

Presents the subject of astronomy in a succinct, popular form. No mathematical knowledge beyond the simplest outlines is a.s.sumed on the part of the reader. The great underlying facts and principles of astronomy are presented in a shape which any intelligent person can comprehend. The book may be used either for self-instruction or for schools.

History of Astronomy

By George Forbes, M.A., F.R.S., M.Inst.C.E.

Formerly Professor of Natural Philosophy, Anderson's College, Glasgow

_16mo. Adequately Ill.u.s.trated._

_No. 1. A History of the Science Series_

The author traces the evolution of intellectual thought in the progress of astronomical discovery, recognizing the various points of view of the different ages, giving due credit even to the ancients. It has been necessary to curtail many parts of the history, to lay before the reader in unlimited s.p.a.ce enough about each age to ill.u.s.trate its tone and spirit, the ideals of the workers, the gradual addition of new points of view and of new means of investigation.
