Description: Challenge of the Universe:A Joint Project of the National Science Teachers Administration(A Vistas of Science Book)MYSTERIOUS LIGHTS OVER PHOENIXBy J. Allen Hynek Paperback: 143 Pages — Publisher: McGraw-Hill (1963) From the back cover: "Challenge of the Universe is a fascinating casebook of astrophysics and celestial mechanics - of facts, theories, and speculations. In it, you will discover how astronomers determine the dimensions, masses, even the ages and physical conditions of stars. There is even a scheme for air-conditioning Venus. A dream? Yes - but progress is built of dreams. And, there is more. A chapter on relativity, complete with the elegant algebra of Einstein, shows why man is forever limited to one infinitesimal sector of the universe. At the end of the book you will find a section of projects and experiments - many of them - all challenging, fun, and inexpensive." Condition: VERY GOOD. Used - Very Good. Book may have minor cosmetic defects on the cover, spine, pages or dust jacket. Shrink wrap, dust jacket, or boxed set case may be missing in some cases.

Shipping: If an Ebay Store listing or auction features free shipping, there is no shipping cost to the buyer. Otherwise, Buyer pays shipping. Please Note: Sellers are not responsible for service transit time. This information is provided by the carrier (i.e., US Postal Service) and excludes weekends and holidays. Carrier's transit times can vary considerably during peak periods. Therefore, I make no guarantees about transit times (despite Ebay's promises), but I will put your package into the carrier's system in one business day. Please note: I do not ship on Saturdays or Sundays, as my local post office is closed on weekends. Items purchased after 12:00 p.m. on Friday, on Saturday, or on Sunday will be shipped the following Monday. Feedback: I leave positive feedback for all of my customers who pay on time and leave me positive feedback. As soon as I receive your feedback, I will leave feedback for you. *** Buyers, please note: shipment times may be longer than quoted by Ebay due to pressures currently effecting delivery systems (pandemic). Thank you for your patience!***
