Sobre este artículo
Oxford: Oxford University Press. Fine with no dust jacket. 1985. First Edition. Hardcover. Lacks the dust jacket. ; This book is primarily about the starts and stops, political manipulation and change, financial travails, cancellations, disappointment, and ultimate success in building an English facility and battery of radio telescopes that revolutionized astronomy. It's a complete story with sufficient technical detail embedded in it. The pinnacle was the 250-foot dish radio telescope and the MERLIN network of radio telescopes. The author Sir Alfred Charles Bernard Lovell, OBE (1913-2012) was a physicist, radio astronomer, and first director of Jodrell Bank Observatory. Lovell believed that the physics of radar could be applied to distant celestial bodies. Proven correct, his theories translated into the design of revolutionary methods and radio telescopes still in use today. Illustrated with monochrome photographs and graphs. Extensively indexed. Light blue, laid pastedowns and endpapers. All edges of the text block trimmed. Typeset by Eta Services, Suffolk. Printed by Butler and Tanner, Frome. Absolutely clean and in Fine condition.; tall 8vo 9" - 10" tall; xvi,292 pages .
