Opis

Over the centuries the starry night sky has inspired poets and scientists alike, and the fruits of these inspirations enrich each other. Acclaimed science writer Levy has traced writers that celebrate the twin visions of human wonder and curiosity--including Shakespeare, Milton, Keats, Galileo and more--as expressed in poetry and astronomy.
