{"product_id":"the-ways-of-the-planets-martha-evans-martin-9781596059078","title":"The Ways of the Planets","description":"Though it has been supplanted by later scientific discovery, this 1912 volume is as much a love letter to the night sky as it is a compendium of the state of astronomical knowledge at the turn of the 20th century, and so it remains a lovely read for those who understand the romance of scientific inquiry. The observational advice of this little book is still entirely useful-its tips for finding Mercury, Mars, and Venus by the naked eye are clear and concise-but even more vitally, its ponderings on the beauty of the planets manage still, a century later, to bring us Earthlings a little closer to those distant worlds. MARTHA EVANS MARTIN (d. 1925) also wrote the classic guide to naked-eye astronomy The Friendly Stars.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martha Evans Martin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1596059079\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781596059078\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cosimo Classics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 292\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.66d","brand":"Martha Evans Martin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44584085520639,"sku":"9781596059078","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_de662561-818f-4ab3-814c-03ab48d8b144.jpg?v=1701885223","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-ways-of-the-planets-martha-evans-martin-9781596059078","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
