Recenzii
"From Earth-Bound to Satellite is a superb and richly illustrated collection of essays on the history of the telescope [...] Perhaps the greatest strength of the book lies in its fifteen authors and editors eing such well-known scholars of the history of scientific instruments."
– Alexi Baker, University of Cambridge, in: The British Journal for the History of Science 47, pp 181-182
"The many subjects in this volume and their span over space and time will attract a broad and appreciative audience of historians."
– Patrick J. Boner, Johns Hopkins University, in: Renaissance Quarterly 65/4 (Winter 2012), pp. 1232-1233
