Rezensionen / Stimmen
Professor Kevin MacKeown, an expert researcher and expositor, has written an excellent book. It is a scholarly, perceptive and fascinating account of the foundation and early work of the Hong Kong Observatory. His descriptions of the characters involved are extraordinarily well drawn; reading it is a must. -- Sir Arnold Wolfendale FRS, 14th Astronomer Royal
