{"product_id":"the-last-stargazers","title":"The Last Stargazers","description":"SHORTLISTED FOR THE ROYAL SOCIETY SCIENCE BOOK PRIZE 2021\nFINALIST FOR THE PEN\/E.O. WILSON LITERARY SCIENCE WRITING AWARD\nAN AMAZON BEST BOOK OF 2020\nTo be an astronomer is to journey to some of the most inaccessible parts of the globe, braving mountain passes, sub-zero temperatures, and hostile flora and fauna.\nNot to mention the stress of handling equipment worth millions. It is a life of unique delights and absurdities … and one that may be drawing to a close. Since Galileo first pointed his telescope at the heavens, astronomy has stood as a fount of human creativity and discovery, but soon it will be the robots gazing at the sky while we are left to sift through the data.\nIn The Last Stargazers, Emily Levesque reveals the hidden world of the professional astronomer. She celebrates an era of ingenuity and curiosity, and asks us to think twice before we cast aside our sense of wonder at the universe.","brand":"Oneworld Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40594358829141,"sku":"9780861540068N","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2481\/5790\/files\/d996a691-e170-4ded-b839-a2d12707fb98.jpg?v=1682358838","url":"https:\/\/smeikalbooks.co.uk\/en-us\/products\/the-last-stargazers","provider":"smeikalbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
