AUTHOR

Hirshfeld, Alan W.

SUMMARY

"PARALLAX is a superb book. Hirshfeld, a Massachusetts professor of astronomy, is hugely talented at bringing to life the story's cast of complicated characters. And he portrays science in its true light, avoiding the misleading idea that it is a steady forward march to enlightenment. We get to see it as a true human endeavour, complete with false assumptions, failures, unfounded optimism, inattention to detail, luck, jealousies and egotisms. This deserves to be a bestseller.Hirshfeld, Alan W. is the author of 'Parallax The Race to Measure the Cosmos' with ISBN 9780716737117 and ISBN 0716737116.
