NP Parallax: The Race to Measure the Cosmos

[jbor]

Positive review by Nick Lomb of Alan Hirshfeld's book:

http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2002/08/02/1028157838776.html

" ... Following in the tradition of books like Dava Sobel's _Longitude_,
Hirshfeld concentrates on the human stories though he carefully explains the
science as well. For this reviewer, one pleasing difference between the two
books is that, unlike _Longitude_ where the astronomers are the villains,
here they are the heroes. ..."
