| Author(s) | Moore, Patrick;Chapman, Allan |
| Publication | London, Springer London, 2000. |
| Description | XII, 100 p. 37 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | In a year that will probably be remembered almost as much for books about the millennium as for the turn of 2000 A.D itself, Patrick Moore's Millennium Yearbook celebrates.....well, the wrong millennium! This thoroughly entertaining book - which is for everyone, not just astronomers - contains articles on King Alfred's chronological work, reviews of the new Star Catalogue by the Arab Al-Sufi and the latest edition of Ptolemy's Almagast. And foreshadowing the change to metric units by 1000 years, the book uses arabic numbers instead of Roman - but there is a conversion table if you have trouble with the idea of "zero" and prefer the older system |

| Title | Mary Somerville and the World of Science |
| Author(s) | Chapman, Allan |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2015. |
| Description | XIII, 92 p. 17 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Mary Somerville (1780-1872), after whom Somerville College Oxford was named, was the first woman scientist to win an international reputation entirely in her own right, rather than through association with a scientific brother or father. She was active in astronomy, one of the most demanding areas of science of the day, and flourished in the unique British tradition of Grand Amateurs, who paid their own way and were not affiliated with any academic institution. Mary Somerville was to science what Jane Austen was to literature and Frances Trollope to travel writing. Allan Chapman???s vivid account brings to light the story of an exceptional woman, whose achievements in a field dominated by men deserve to be very widely known |
