Measuring the Universe is the first history of the evolution of cosmic dimensions, from the work of Eratosthenes and Aristarchus in the third century B.C. to the efforts of Edmond Halley (1656—1742).

I warmly recommend this book."—Colin A. Ronan, Journal of the British Astronomical Association Read more
