Notă biografică
James Mullaney is an astronomy writer and lecturer who has published more than 700 articles and eight books on observing the wonders of the heavens, and logged over 20,000 hours of stargazing time with the unaided eye, binoculars and telescopes. Formerly Curator of the Buhl Planetarium & Institute of Popular Science in Pittsburgh and Director of the DuPont Planetarium, he served as staff astronomer at the University of Pittsburgh's Allegheny Observatory and as an editor for Sky & Telescope magazine. One of the contributors to Carl Sagan's acclaimed Cosmos PBS television series, his work has received recognition over the years from such notables (and fellow stargazers) as Sir Arthur Clarke, Johnny Carson, Ray Bradbury, Dr Wernher von Braun, and former student NASA scientist/astronaut Dr Jay Apt. His 50-year mission as a 'celestial evangelist' has been to 'celebrate the universe!' - to get others to look up at the majesty of the night sky and to personally experience the joys of stargazing. In recognition of his work, he has been elected a Fellow of the prestigious Royal Astronomical Society of London.
Descriere
A guide to the wonders of the heavens visible to the unaided eye and in binoculars, with a focus on the 'soul' of the night sky. It explores profound concepts such as our heritage as children of the stars and our cosmic destiny - all from an aesthetic viewpoint.
