"The Moon Is New" by John Dobson the astronomer

Description: John Dobson did more than design the Dobsonian telescope. He, along with the Sidewalk Astronomers, popularized amateur astronomy by making the telescope easy and inexpensive to make with the purpose of enjoying what you see, not just taking photos. For over 40 years he has travelled all over the world teaching astronomy, cosmology, and telescope building to anyone that would listen, with no interest in money or fame. Now he is 97 years old, and here is his latest book which was published in 2008. John's book is amusing, as it is written as a science fiction story, and we get a chance to see some of his imagination at work. He has also included a lot of personal information and reminiscences in the book he calls "The closest thing to an autobiography I've done." Be entertained as you discover John Dobson's cosmology model. Sold directly from the publisher. 153 Pages Beautiful color photos Size = 8 1/2 x 11 inches Paperback John's book description: What would our physics look like from an outsider's point of view? What underlies the universe which we see? What does Einstein's special theory of relativity really mean? John Dobson has been on the Johnny Carson show twice as a guest. There are two articles about Dobson in Smithsonian Magazine. He has been featured in two movies: KCET's The Astronomers by PBS, and Jeffrey Jacob's A Sidewalk Astronomer. He was partly responsible for what is known as the Dobsonian Revolution in amateur telescopes. You can find much more information about him on the Internet.
