The Last Stargazers: The Enduring Story of Astronomy’s Vanishing Explorers

byEmily Levesque

Emily Levesque uses The Last Stargazers to investigate the Enduring Story of Astronomy’s Vanishing Explorers through a carefully framed biographical portrait. Moving between close detail and context, the book explains the forces surrounding its subject and connects them to the connected fields of biography & autobiography and science. The result avoids a single easy lesson, emphasizing instead how circumstances, institutions, and individual choices interacted over time. The Last Stargazers leaves readers with key context and a clear view of the human stakes involved.
