| Title | Radio Astronomy in Canada : Young Science in a Young Country |
| Author(s) | Wall, Jasper;Griffin, Elizabeth;Jarrell, Richard |
| Publication | Cham, 1. Imprint: Springer
2. Springer Nature Switzerland, 2024. |
| Description | XXVII, 355 p. 139 illus., 101 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Here is the tale of Canada???s intriguing development of the science of Radio Astronomy. In 1946 the lone figure of Arthur Covington started monitoring the radio emission of the Sun, a programme that continues to this day. By the 1960s Canada had progressed to constructing two radio observatories at either ends of the country (the DRAO and the ARO), and universities were coming onboard. The story continues through the dire times for these and follows their fortunes and fates right up to the present, with Canada now playing key roles in billion-dollar international telescope projects. It concludes with the construction and operation of Canada???s own transformational telescope, CHIME. Anecdotes and images throughout the book liven the story. The authors???two practising astronomers???have painstakingly put together this fascinating story, drawing on first-hand experiences, valuable contributions from many colleagues, and the research of science historian, Richard Jarrell (1942-2013). This book fills a gap in the substantial literature on the history of radio astronomy. Carefully-researched by three experts and based on input by further experts in the field, it documents the extensive scientific and (especially) technical innovations of Canadian scientists and engineers. This includes the important Canadian absolute flux-density calibrations, the critical Canadian contribution to low-frequency radio astronomy and VLBI, and the long-running solar monitoring programme. Frank discussions about the excellent 46-m ARO telescope and its fate lead into considerations of Canada???s contributions to recent international projects ??? the JCMT, ALMA and the upcoming SKA. The book concludes with a description of CHIME, Canada???s own new-generation radio installation.

| Title | Reading the Mind of God : Johannes Kepler and the Reform of Astronomy |
| Author(s) | Davis, A.E.L;Field, J. V;Mahoney, T. J |
| Publication | Dordrecht, 1. Imprint: Springer
2. Springer Netherlands, 2024. |
| Description | XXIX, 405 p. 109 illus., 27 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This volume provides a wide-ranging introduction to Kepler???s work, with essays on his religion, his cosmological theories, his work in astronomy, astrology, optics and mathematics and his interactions with Tycho Brahe and Galileo Galilei. Kepler is a major figure in the history of science. His laws of planetary motion overthrew a tradition, going back as far as the ancient Greeks, of constructing the paths of planets by combinations of circles; and the derivation of the laws was revolutionary in the way it relied upon detailed agreement with observations. Moreover, the laws explicitly relate the motion and path of each planet to the Sun. Thus, when the tables that Kepler based upon the laws proved to be highly reliable over many decades, this played a crucial part in making heliocentrism acceptable. And many years after Kepler???s death the laws themselves played an important part in Newton???s derivation of the inverse square law of gravitation in his Principia (1687). In this respect, Kepler can look ???modern???. But his work is grounded in his religious belief that the Universe is the visible expression of the nature of the God who created it. This book, whose chapters are written by leading scholars, is primarily addressed to undergraduate and graduate students of science and the history of science but will also appeal to the general reader with an interest in the history of science |

| Title | The World of Visual Time Signals for Mariners : Time Balls, Time Guns, Time Lights and Other Signals |
| Author(s) | Kinns, Roger |
| Publication | Cham, 1. Imprint: Springer
2. Springer Nature Switzerland, 2024. |
| Description | X, 471 p. 252 illus., 186 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book describes the worldwide evolution of land-based visual time signals that were used by mariners in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries for accurate navigation at sea. They followed development of chronometers which were carried in ships to show mean time at Greenwich, the chosen prime meridian. Greenwich time could be compared with local astronomical time to determine longitude, but chronometers were mechanical devices that had to be checked for accuracy. Land-based signals that were regulated by astronomical observations evolved from the ideas in 1818 of Robert Wauchope, a British naval officer who served at the Cape of Good Hope. He inspired introduction of time balls, specifically the time ball at Greenwich in 1833 which set the standard for subsequent installations and is still in operation today. The main emphasis is on the external appearance of time signals at different locations around the world and how they were used by mariners for rating chronometers. Time ballsand guns also became popular signals for public use and workplace control but then had social and political implications |
