The Glass Universe: How the Ladies of the Harvard Observatory Took the Measure of the Stars by Dava Sobel

4.0

Well researched history of the Harvard Observatory. This reads better if you look at it as a series of mini-stories rather than a sing. narrative. Information dense, if you are looking for a quick read - this one is probably not for you. If, however, you are curious to learn more of many of the more famous names of early astronomy - this book is solid, and also covers the contributions of the men who ran these institutions that Harvard lent its name and resources to.
