Glimpsing an Invisible Universe: The Emergence of X-ray Astronomy
Hirsh, Richard F. (Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University)
This book deals with the evolution of X-ray astronomy during the initial phases of its development. Three transformations of astronomy as a discipline are highlighted: the augmentation of purely optical observations; the emergence of federal funding as the dominant source of financial support; and the greatly altered size and structure of the research community.
