Pauline’s book recs : a MASTERPOST (I)

Shit, it’s 2020 and I’ve updated this Behemoth again.There’s both old and new in here. If you’re having problems with links overlapping, it is most likely the app/dashboard glitching—try the permalink version, and everything should work out, even on mobile. And of course, HAVE FUN.

Also: I had to split this one in two otherwise the links just poof, disappear.  Part two is here.

this is unfair. it’s always, “hi, how are you?” and never, “you have bewitched me, body and soul, and i love, i love, i love you. and wish from this day forth never to be parted from you” :(

Object of the Week: Five-Draw Telescope, unknown maker, Italy, 1700-1750. 2018.8.5. 

The introduction of the telescope in 1608 led to the production of many Galilean telescopes with a single-lens eyepiece, low magnification, and a narrow field of view. The development of the compound eyepiece in 1645 made it possible to use the telescope as a more effective device for astronomical and terrestrial observation. This example could be used for both types of observation: at 44 cm in length, it’s portable, and it provides magnification and a field of view convenient for observing both realms.
