[Physics] Classic physics-related and eclipse-related book republished

[Thomas Goodey]

Gentlemen: I take the liberty of publishing a puff for a 
very interesting book which contains a great deal of 
physics, and some eclipse-related matter:  

By arrangement with the copyright-holders, I have now 
republished A. Vibert Douglas's classic biography of Sir 
Arthur Stanley Eddington in electronic form on Amazon 
Kindle, for the paltry price of $9.99:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077STSW12/

This biography was highly praised when it came out in 1956, 
but it soon went out of print, and it has been completely 
unavailable for a very long time. It certainly deserves the 
light of day again.  

The book includes a description of Eddington's expedition 
to Principe for the 1919 eclipse which confirmed the 
Einstein light deflection prediction, and gives the poem - 
a pastiche of the Rubaiyat - that Eddington wrote 
afterwards in commemoration:  

Ah Moon of my Delight far on the wane,
The Moon of Heaven has reached the Node again....

You wouldn't need a Kindle to read this fine work; you 
could download the Amazon app onto your computer or even 
your smartphone.  

[We hope to publish a paperback edition later. However that 
will be substantially more expensive, maybe about $25 to 
cover costs.]

What do you do when your dream dies?
Dreams die in every life. But not Pham's 
dream. He had pursued it across five hundred 
light years and three thousand years of 
objective time. It was a dream of a single 
Humankind, where justice would not be 
occasional flickering light, but a steady glow 
across all of Human Space. He dreamed of 
a civilization where continents never 
burned, and where minor kings didn't give 
children away as hostages.
