In Sun Moon Earth, astronomer Tyler Nordgren illustrates how this most seemingly unnatural of natural phenomena was transformed from a fearsome omen to a tourist attraction. From the astrologers of ancient China and Babylon to the high priests of the Maya, Sun Moon Earth takes us around the world to show how different cultures interpreted these dramatic events. Greek philosophers discovered eclipses' cause and used them to measure their world and the cosmos beyond. Victorian-era scientists mounted eclipse expeditions during the age of globe-spanning empires. And modern-day physicists continue to use eclipses to confirm Einstein's theory of relativity. Beautifully illustrated and lyrically written, Sun Moon Earth is the ideal guide for all eclipse watchers and star gazers alike,"--Amazon.com.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 523.7809 No Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 523.7809 No Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 523.7809 No Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 523.7809 No Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Adult Nonfiction 523.7809 No Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waipahu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 523.7809 No Checked In Add Copy to MyList
