BOOK REVIEWED-Stargazer: The Life and Times of the Telescope
by Fred Watson
Da Capo Press: 2005. 342 pp. $24.95

Several excellent historical studies have already been written about it, notably André Danjon and André Couder's Lunettes et Télescopes in 1935, Henry King's The History of the Telescope in 1955, and Rolf Riekher's Fernrohre und ihre Meister in 1990.
