This book was released on 2014-06-01 with total page 1398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Huggins (1824–1910) was celebrated in his lifetime as the father of astrophysics. Huggins was also the author of numerous groundbreaking articles documenting his use of the spectroscope to analyse the light from celestial bodies. From the earliest days of his career Huggins was regularly in contact with other scientists, including astronomers, chemists, physicists, mathematicians and the makers of scientific instruments. Correspondents include Ernest Rutherford (pioneer of atomic physics), Thomas Romney Robinson (director of the Armagh Observatory), George Gabriel Stokes and Joseph Larmor (each served as Physical Secretary of the Royal Society), Thomas and Howard Grubb (father and son, makers of telescopes in Dublin), David Gill (director of the Royal Observatory at the Cape in South Africa) and George Ellery Hale (director of the Kenwood Astrophysical Observatory and founder of many others). This edition includes over 1,000 letters and excerpts from Huggins’s observatory notebooks. The documents, the majority of which are previously unpublished, reveal the important role that Huggins played in the development of astrophysics. Editorial apparatus situates the letters in their scientific and historical context. The edition will be of interest to those researching astrophysics, astronomy, the history of instruments and the history of science more generally.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Challenging traditional accounts of the origins of astrophysics, this book presents the first scholarly biography of nineteenth-century English amateur astronomer William Huggins (1824-1910). A pioneer in adapting the spectroscope to new astronomical purposes, William Huggins rose to scientific prominence in London and transformed professional astronomy to become a principal founder of the new science of astrophysics. The author re-examines his life and career, exploring unpublished notebooks, correspondence and research projects to expose the boldness of this scientific entrepreneur. While Sir William Huggins is the main focus of the book, the involvement of Lady Margaret Lindsay Huggins (1848-1915) in her husband's research is examined, where it may have been previously overlooked or obscured. Written in an engaging style, this book has broad appeal and will be valuable to scientists, students and anyone interested in the history of astronomy.
