Professor Sir Francis Graham-Smith, the current Astronomer Royal, and Professor Sir Bernard Lovell are two of the most distinguished and influential astronomers of our time. In Pathways to the Universe they provide an introduction to the subject which starts from basics and extends to the forfront of modern research. Copiously illustrated, with many pictures in full colour, this account reveals the excitement of astronomy for readers from all backgrounds.
"..a well-written set of paths into an understanding of modern astronomical knowledge, with an originality of approcach that should interest even the knowledgeable reader and be of value to anyone concerned with public education in astronomy." Scope
"It is rare to find such a readable account of this complex subject and perhaps even more rare to find the story being told by two pioneers who developed some of the tools used to make the most pivotal discoveries." Science Books and Films
