J. J. Le Verrier at the Paris Observatory. He soon tired of the drudgery; he was drawn to more romantic vistas, and at 19 wrote a book on an idea that he was to make his own—the habitability of other worlds. There followed a career as France’s greatest popularizer of astronomy, with over 60 titles to his credit. An admirer granted him a chateau at Juvisy-sur-l’Orge, and he set up a first-rate observatory dedicated to the study of the planet Mars. Finally, in 1892, he published his masterpiece, .La Planete Mars et ses conditions d’habitabilite., a comprehensive summary of three centuries’ worth of literature on Mars, much of it based on his own personal research into rare memoirs and archives. As a history of that era, it has never been surpassed, and remains one of a handful of indispensable books on the red planet..Sir Patrick Moore (1923-2012) needs no introduction; his record of popularizing astronomy in Britain in the 20th century equaled Flammarion’s in France in the 19th century. Moore pounded out hundreds of books as well as served as presenter of the BBC’s TV pro | | 出版日期 | Book 2015 | | 关键词 | Camille Flammarion Translation; Camille Flammarion‘s Career; Early Martian Studies; Great Popularizers | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-09641-4 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-319-34477-5 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-09641-4Series ISSN 0067-0057 Series E-ISSN 2214-7985 | | issn_series | 0067-0057 | | copyright | Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2015 |
