Civic Astronomy
The founding of the Dudley Observatory at Albany in 1852 was a milestone in humanity's quest to understand the heavens. This book explores the story of the Dudley Observatory as a 150 year long episode in civic astronomy. It ranges from a civic controversy to a venture into space, from the banks of the Hudson River to the highlands of Argentina.
