Linda
Winkler
Physics
and Astronomy
Bruck,
M.T. Agnes Mary Clerke and the
Rise of Astrophysics. New York:
Cambridge University Press, 2002.
Dr.
Winkler chose this book because:
“Agnes Mary Clerke was a prominent woman astronomer living before
Einstein’s time. She was
dedicated to writing about astronomy for ordinary people.
As a teacher of non-science students, I especially appreciate her
struggle, her love for her work, and her desire to share that love with
others.”
