Join the Libraries and the Office of the Provost for a Faculty Scholarship Talk by Karen Masters on her new book!
Attend via Zoom here.
The Astronomers Library, part of the Liber Historica series from Quarto Publishing, is a beautifully illustrated collection of some of the most interesting astronomy books from the past 800 years. With books collected into sections on Star Atlases, Maps of other Worlds, Astronomy and Culture, Cosmology, and books used in Teaching of Astronomy, as well as a section on modern books, The Astronomers' Library is a fun and beautifully illustrated tour across the history of astronomy (and astrology) publishing across Europe and beyond. In this talk, the author, Prof. Masters will provide a guided tour through some of these books.
The Astronomers Library is Prof. Masters’s third popular science book for Quarto; the other two are 30-Second Universe, and 30-Second Spacetravel (both co-authored with Charles Liu).
