Royal Observatory Greenwich: A History in Objects is a true celebration of the Observatory, its history, collections and the people who worked in it. The Observatory’s Senior Curator, Dr Louise Devoy, charts the development of Britain’s first state-funded scientific institution, from its founding by royal warrant to the present day. Featuring some of the Museum’s best-known treasures, as well as more unassuming items, it reveals the varied work of three centuries of astronomers, researchers and scientists in the Observatory’s 350th anniversary year. Beautifully illustrated, the book is the perfect gift for astronomy and history enthusiasts, and for anyone who wants to learn more about the workings and contributions to science of this remarkable institution.
