Rezension

“My overall impression is of a very carefully organized book in which clear explanations are seen as the key to understanding the process by which scientific discoveries are made. ... this book is a mostly excellent, carefully constructed, step-by-step educational path through the development of the process of doing science and resulting discoveries. Sun Kwok’s book provides an all-embracing view of how science has enabled a detailed description of our place in the Universe ... .” (Barry Kent, The Observatory, Vol. 142 (1291), December, 2022)
