'将复杂的天文知识直观化、简单化、亲切化,让天文学这个词变得不再高深的难以触及,让普通人轻轻松松的就能看懂天文学知识。这是一部人人都能读懂的天文学著作,它文笔流畅,语言通俗易懂。这是一部通往天文世界的宝典,它全面呈现了我们所赖以生存的宇宙的主要构成形态以及各自的特点、宇宙的过去未来等丰富的天文学知识。这是一部现代天文学的奠基之作,它的问世,为后世的天文研究开启了一扇光明之门。没错,它就是被《大英百科全书》誉为'那个时代显赫的天文学家之一'的西蒙·纽康经典的著作--《通俗天文学》。该书自出版以来,被翻译成多国语言,深受读者推崇,大大地促进了天文学的普及。从前,人们印象中的天文学都是晦涩难懂的,而该书的出版,完全打破了人们的传统观念。西蒙本身就是个'能深入浅出地把学问做活了的明白人',所以他想到了用通俗易懂的语言来陈述天文学知识,让天文学著作成为通俗读物。秉着尊重原著的态度,本书沿用了初版图书中的插图与图解,并采用双色印刷,让读者在品味经典的同时,又有愉悦的阅读体验。内容简介《通俗天文学》是人类历史上伟大的天文学家、传奇人物西蒙·纽康的天文学巨著,为使读者更有兴趣了解本书、了解天文学,作者刻意回避了概念化与古板的描述方式,语言通俗易懂,同时也严谨细致地加入了一些专业术语的解释,深入浅出地把天文学知识普及到每个天文学爱好者,间接推动了天文学事业的发展。自1923年起,该著作不断加印、重印,高达上千次,吸引了全球亿万读者。如今,越来越多的人们开始关注天文学,我们决定重译此书,用更通俗易懂的语言一句一句地将原文翻译过来,希望能让读者从中受益,并真正达到与大师一起探秘宇宙的求知境界。作者简介西蒙·纽康,1835年3月10日生于加拿大的新斯科舍省,1909年7月11日卒于华盛顿哥伦比亚特区。西蒙·纽康的父亲是位乡村教师,1853年时,父子俩一同到马里兰州任教。他充分利用业余时间,对各个领域的知识进行了广泛地学习,数学和天文学尤为精通。1857年,华盛顿史密松研究所所长约瑟夫·亨利推荐他到航海天文年历编制局从事计算工作。1858年,他从哈佛大学毕业。1861年,时任美国总统的林肯委任他为美国海军的数学教授。随后,他在海军天文台开始了长达16年的天文观测,而且当时美国很大的26英寸折射望远镜也是由他亲自监造的。1877年,西蒙·纽康出任航海天文年历编制局局长,开始制定天文常数系统。这是一项相当繁复的工作,而他用极大的耐心与毅力,将其视为他一生中重要的工作。1897~1898年,他出任美国数学学会会长。1899年,他创建了美国天文学会,并任会长。可以说,西蒙·纽康的一生,在天文研究方面的经验相当丰富,贡献巨大。早在他24岁时,已敢于挑战当时研究小行星来历的天文学家的专业,并成功计算出小行星的轨道。而从1868年起,他已经在进行月球运动理论的相关研究,一直到晚年--这也是他受关注的成就之一。
