Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Manual of Field Astronomy If the reason be demanded for the appearance of another book on Field Astronomy when there are already published several excellent works on the subject, it may be stated as follows: That although any one of them may serve very well as a text for a comparatively extended study, the author has been unable to find one sufficiently concise to fit the short time usually allowed for the work in a civil engineering course which would still provide enough of the fundamentals of the subject to enable the reader to make, intelligently, the observations and accompanying computations required in the practice of general engineering and surveying. Something is needed more complete than the usual chapter in books on surveying and less extensive than most texts on field astronomy. This need, which is acknowledged by other teachers to exist, it is hoped to fill; and at the same time it has been attempted to provide a book which will be of service to engineers and surveyors whose practice requires that they occasionally make astronomical observations. To this end the discussion of fundamentals has been made brief, but it is thought sufficiently thorough for the purpose. Special attention has been given to the matter of measurement of time, because it is believed that this causes more difficulty for students in general than any other part of the subject. In the selection of the methods described for the determination of latitude, azimuth, time, and longitude, care has been taken to choose those which are believed to be most capable of producing results when used with field instruments under ordinary field conditions. Realizing that the determination of azimuth is more frequently required than any other observation, more methods have been given for this than for the other problems. Each observation has been presented essentially as follows: The work of which the observation consists is first stated briefly, followed by the relations and theory on which it depends, accompanied by such explanation as seems necessary.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Text-Book of Field Astronomy for Engineers The present work is not designed for professional students of astronomy, but for another and larger class found in technical colleges. For many years it has been the author's duty to teach to students of engineering the elements of practical astronomy, and the experience thus acquired has gradually produced the unconventional views that find expression in the present text and which, to the author's mind, are justified by the following considerations: In the engineering curriculum, work in astronomy is a part of a course of technical and professional training of students who have no purpose to become astronomers. Under these circumstances it seems the duty of the instructor to select for presentation those parts of astronomical practice most closely related to the work of the future engineer and, with reference to the narrow limits of time allotted the subject, to keep in the background many collateral matters that are of primary interest and importance to the student of astronomy as a science.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the mid-1990s, astronomers made history when they began to find planets orbiting stars in the Milky Way. More than eight hundred planets have been found since then, yet none of them is anything like Earth and none could support life. Now, armed with more powerful technology, planet hunters are racing to find a true twin of Earth. Science writer Michael Lemonick has unique access to these exoplaneteers, as they call themselves, and Mirror Earth unveils their passionate quest. Unlike competitors in other races, Geoff Marcy, Bill Borucki, David Charbonneau, Sara Seager, and others actually consult and cooperate with one another. But only one will be the first to find Earth's twin. Mirror Earth tells the story of their competition.
