In Blind Watchers of the Sky (Addison-Wesley, $25, ISBN 0 201 48992 9)
Rocky Kolb provides an entertaining account of the history of cosmology and
builds it around the lives of great thinkers from Brahe and Kepler to Hubble and
Gamow. Accessible, chatty and fun, this will delight both newcomers to cosmology
and old hands curious about the personalities behind the names.
