Description
The Transit of Venus is a book written by John Philip Sousa and originally published in 1920. The book is a historical account of the transit of Venus, a rare astronomical event that occurs when the planet Venus passes between the Earth and the Sun. Sousa's book explores the scientific significance of the transit, as well as the cultural and social impact it had on society during the 18th and 19th centuries. The book includes detailed descriptions of the expeditions that were sent to observe the transit, as well as the discoveries that were made as a result. Sousa also delves into the personalities and motivations of the scientists and explorers involved in these expeditions, providing a fascinating look into the world of astronomy during this time period. Overall, The Transit of Venus is a compelling and informative read for anyone interested in the history of science and astronomy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
