The poems revolve around number of great scientific minds whose contributions to human endeavour are more than remarkable and, in the author's mind, of great poetic value. A wonderful compendium of poesy sure to appeal to lovers of poetry as well as those interested in the cultural history of science, this anthology well deserves a place atop any bookshelf. It also constitutes a must-read for fans of Noyes's seminal work. The poems included herein are: 'Copernicus', 'Tycho', 'Brahe', 'Kepler', 'Galileo', 'Newton', 'William Herschel Conducts', and 'Sir John Herschel Remembers.' Alfred Noyes (1880 - 1958) was an English poet, composer of short stories, and playwright, most remembered for his ballads: 'The Highwayman' and 'The Barrel-Organ'. We are proud to republish this antique book, now complete with a new prefatory biography of Alfred Noyes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alfred Noyes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1444654470\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781444654479\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Read Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/14\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 159\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.46lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.37d","brand":"Alfred Noyes","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46906767343871,"sku":"9781444654479","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8bd03632-9adb-4b7b-bf09-3f373475e96a.jpg?v=1748771363","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/watchers-of-the-sky-alfred-noyes-9781444654479","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
