{"product_id":"light-from-the-depths-of-time-softcover-reprint-of-the-original-1st-1987","title":"Light from the Depths of Time","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"Light from the Depths of Time\" by Rudolf Kippenhahn is a astronomy book and space science reference focused on Deep Sky \u0026amp; Solar System. Best for students, researchers, and serious astronomy enthusiasts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough this book has been available for some time, it is only now appearing in an English edition. This gives me the opportunity of adding a few explanations. I have not struggled to include the very latest, tentative results. I have, instead, concentrated on presenting cosmological ideas to interested non experts. They often encounter considerable difficulties when attempts are made to explain even long-established results in this field, so the aim of this book is to provide them with help. Naturally, I have also tried to include modern findings. To help with the explanation I have made use of the fictitious inhabi tants of Flatland, occasional historical digressions, and the dreams of Herr Meyer. Incidentally, I chose this name, which is very common in German speaking countries, to suggest an average citizen, just like the man next door. I should like to thank Springer-Verlag for deciding to publish this book in the language in which many of the discoveries described here were first formulated. I also thank my translator, Mr Storm Dunlop. Finally I thank Hanna Tettenborn for compiling the index.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46418917195975,"sku":"1-99-523-001570","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0736\/9575\/6487\/files\/9783540171195.jpg?v=1776318310","url":"https:\/\/snowflakeskies.com\/products\/light-from-the-depths-of-time-softcover-reprint-of-the-original-1st-1987","provider":"Snowflake Skies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
