Berlin-Heidelberg: Springer-Verlag, 1995.

Paradoxically, the theories of Einstein, Planck and Heisenberg, along with modern radio, X-ray, and space-borne telescopes mean that the cosmos seems to hold more mysteries today than it did a hundred years ago. 390 pgs. Illustrated.. First Edition. Original Wraps. As New/ . 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
