The professional researcher and great popularizer Paul Murdin offers in this original and surprising work an innovative vision of astronomy. Through a discourse focused on the thrill of discovery, Murdin proposes a journey through all the major themes of ancient and modern astronomy, with a special emphasis on the findings that have most influenced the change in our vision of our place in the cosmos. The historical orientation of the narrative allows Murdin to highlight the human aspects of the scientific enterprise, with a multitude of anecdotes and personal details about the authors of the discoveries, with key data about the context in which they took place, and with the emphasis on the process character of all scientific research. A work that recognizes the contributions of women and men from all over the world in the effort of generations that has led to our current vision of the cosmos, a picture that is still in a state of sketch and that will still have many surprises in store for us.
