Review by Choice Review

Malphrus provides both an introduction and a history of radio astronomy; by emphasizing the history of the National Radio Observatory, he is able to make a contribution to the understanding of the evolution of big science. An extremely interesting, well-researched book, easy to read and full of photographs, its large size allows large and impressive pictures and diagrams. The book is scholarly and extremely well referenced, but is so clearly written that it is both understandable to general readers and valuable to professionals. All levels. C. H.
