Venus in Transit
Eli Maor
In 2004, Venus crossed the sun's face for the first time since 1882. This title tells the intriguing tale of the five Venus transits previously observed and the fantastic efforts made to record them. It is a story of heroes and cowards, of reputations earned and squandered, told against a backdrop of geopolitical and scientific change.
