Book Description
Originating from the Rede Lecture delivered at the University of Cambridge in November 1930, this book is based upon the conviction that the teachings and findings of astronomy and physical science are destined to produce an immense change on our outlook on the universe as a whole, and on views about the significance of human life.
Review
'My mother, always an enthusiast for astronomy, received this book some time in the 1930s and later encouraged me to read it. The book starts with Plato's allegory of the prisoners in a cave trying to understand the world outside by watching shadows on the wall. For me the space age has brought us a long way closer to losing our shackles and looking directly out of the cave.' David Southwood, Astronomy Now
