Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Square 8vo (24 × 24 cm), 152 pp. Publisher's cloth, dust jacket (minor shelf wear). A richly illustrated volume drawn entirely from the internationally renowned History of Astronomy collections of the Adler Planetarium & Astronomy Museum, Chicago, assembled over many decades largely through the efforts of the late Roderick Webster and Marjorie Webster, to whom the book is dedicated. The work presents a visual and interpretative survey of humanity's changing understanding of the cosmos from the late fifteenth to the nineteenth century, with particular emphasis on the transition from geocentric to heliocentric cosmologies, and on the development of observational and representational instruments. The book is organised thematically into four main sections: Discovering Space, which explores celestial observation through constellations, quadrants, comets, navigational instruments, and telescopes; Discovering Time, covering sundials, nocturnals, astrolabes, and calendrical systems; Understanding the Earth, addressing terrestrial globes, maps, surveying instruments, clocks, and astrological traditions; and Understanding the Heavens, which traces conceptual and visual models of the universe from Ptolemy through Newton to Herschel, including celestial globes, star charts, armillary spheres, and orreries. Supplementary material includes a glossary, astronomical appendix, further reading, list of illustrations, and index. The volume features high-quality colour reproductions of instruments, manuscripts, atlases, and portraits, offering both scholarly insight and visual richness. An accessible yet authoritative reference for the history of astronomy and scientific instruments.

orig.boards. 24x23cm, 152 pp., An ink mark to bottom page-edge. "The Universe Unveiled documents the human desire through history to explore and understand our world. Taking a unique approach, it focuses on the instruments, books, and maps people have created to decipher the Universe from the late fifteenth through to the nineteenth century. Throughout, the book is richly illustrated with over 270 full-color images,including those of rare and unusual artifacts from all over the world kept in the world-renowned collection at the Adler Planetarium and Astronomy Museum in Chicago. With clear and informative text, it covers our discovery of Space and Time, and our ever-expanding understanding of Earth and the Heavens, describing in particular the shift from an Earth- centered to a Sun-centered view of the Universe, and the mapping of the stars using telescopes. It also examines the technologies of navigation and of measuring and mapping the Earth, as well as the discovery of ways to keep time" - publisher's description.
