Inscrivez-vous à LibraryThing pour découvrir si vous aimerez ce livre Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre. An extremely comprehensive (although not strictly chronological) history of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory, including its origins and its various different projects, real and proposed. It's definitely not what you'd call a beach read. I have a personal interest in the subject matter, since I work for NRAO and know a number of the people mentioned here, and even I found it really, really dry. There may be an interesting story here or there, maybe even a few reports of some funny thing someone said while wrangling over funding, but there are a lot of places where it's just long lists of budget figures, or technical specs, or details about who was present at which meeting when. But then, as an academic tome whose goal is to go deep into that kind of thing it's no doubt doing what it needs to do. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
This open access book on the history of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory covers the scientific discoveries and technical innovations of late 20th century radio astronomy with particular attention to the people and institutions involved. The authors have made extensive use of the NRAO Archives, which contain an unparalleled collection of documents pertaining to the history of radio astronomy, including the institutional records of NRAO as well as the personal papers of many of the pioneers of U.S. radio astronomy. Technical details and extensive citations to original sources are given in notes for the more technical readers, but are not required for an understanding of the body of the book. This book is intended for an audience ranging from interested lay readers to professional researchers studying the scientific, technical, political, and cultural development of a new science, and how it changed the course of 20th century astronomy.
