Hardcover. Condition: Like New. First Edition. A firm and square hardback with sharp corners and strong joints, just showing a few very minor cosmetic rubs.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. This book describes William Dawes life and professional achievements. William Dawes was a British Marine serving as the official astronomer on board the First Fleet making the 17871788 voyage from Britain to the new colony of New South Wales. Between 1788 and 1791, Dawes established not one but two observatories within a kilometre of Sydneys present-day city centre, a full seven decades before the construction of Sydneys historical Observatory at Dawes Point, today a stones throw from the Sydney Harbour Bridge.In this comprehensive biography, the authors discuss William Dawes life and his considerable impactas astronomer, engineer, surveyor, ordnance officer and intellectual centre pointon the early colony in New South Wales (in essence, his impact on the earliest history of Sydney as a settlement) and, subsequently, on the British colonies of Sierra Leone on the West African coast and Antigua in the West Indies.Dawes life and professional achievements are closely linked to the earliest history of Sydney as a British settlement. He is often considered a man of high morals, and as such his interactions with the local populations in New South Wales, Sierra Leone and Antigua were mostly deemed respectful and above reproach. He is seen a truly enlightened individual, far ahead of his time.The authors of this book have a significant track record of successful and engaging communication of complex concepts in physics and astronomy with experts and non-experts alike. This biography touches on numerous aspects related to 18th century maritime navigation (sailing on the stars), societal relationships, the exploration of newly discovered lands, as well as the early history of Sydney and New South Wales, and the colonial histories of Sierra Leone and the West Indies. As such, this book will appeal to a wide range of readers, from scholars in the history of science and maritime navigation, to history enthusiasts ranging from local historians on Australias eastern seaboard to members of the public with a keen interest in British colonial history.

First Edition
Original Boards. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: No Dust Jacket. First Edition; First Edition. 460 pages. With diagrams and illustrations. Stamped Damaged on verso title page. Top right hand corner lightly bumped. Bottom spine somewhat damaged. ; Hardcover; Quarto; Knowing an astrophysical object's distance is key to understanding it. IAU Symposium 289 brought together experts on distance determinations and, importantly, the underlying physics enabling it, covering scales from the solar neighbourhood to the edge of the Universe. It explores how various methods are employed to define the milestones deeper into space, from trigonometry to applications based on general relativistic effects and even more exotic techniques. The contributors to this volume emphasise the physical bases of the methods and recent advances made to further our physical insights. The volume provides a snapshot of the field of distance measurement, offering not only up-to-date results and a cutting-edge account of recent progress, but also full discussion of the pitfalls encountered and the uncertainties that remain. This Symposium is especially timely, as we look forward to the era of high-precision astrometry data from Gaia and very long baseline interferometers on the ground.
