This is an excellent volume on the History of the telescope by a well-known astronomer. The volume traces the origin, evolution and development of this most essential astronomical instrument. The book is written in a lively and interesting style. ( )

A nice overview of the history of the telescope, pleasantly told. There's very little technical talk, which is perfect for uninitiated readers. I found it to be somewhat superficial in some places, but maybe my background is too specialist. ( )
