He views the Mughal rule as a preparation and a precondition for the modern age ushered in by the British and the British Raj as a precursor to India of western civilization, which precipitated the transformation of India that is still in progress.## ## The cover shows part of a painting depicting two European officers entertained by an Indian gentleman at a nautch.

The page edges are lightly discoloured, as usual, of the age and quality of the paper used; minor bumping. The text is clean and clear. The cover is in Pelican Books, Bluey, Green and white. Eighteen plates and twelve chapters. A book read and enjoyed, but not abused. Easy reading of an infinite subject. ## ## This book does not claim to be a complete study of astronomy, but its value as an introduction to one of the lesser-known sciences will be plain enough to the ordinary reader. Specially written for the Pelican series, it attempts to bridge the gap between the layman and the astronomer and alleviate the scepticism fostered by a lack of mutual consideration. Mr Hargreaves is an experienced astronomer with an outlook admirably suited for this task. He has tackled it with forthright precision. Strongly holding the view that the specialised scientific vocabulary creates barriers to understanding, he has reduced to a minimum his use of scientific and technical terminology and has made much use of illustration to clarify the mathematical explanation. The result is a book which is readable as well as authoritative. ## INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Please Note. FREE SHIPPING IS UK ONLY. PLEASE, contact me for a shipping quotation. ###. No Author signature.
