A Photographic Atlas of Selected Regions of the Milky Way
"One of the greatest astronomy books of all time is back - and it's better than the original... Professor Dobek brings to this book his knowledge of the astrophysics of dark nebulae and their observation, and a deep love, appreciation, and sensitivity for the cultural and historic worth of this work... This is a must for every astrophysics department, every library, and every astronomer who loves the sky the romance of the subject, and its magnificent history." - Dr Graeme White, James Cook University"This book is a modern restoration and reproduction of Barnard's tour de force.." - Terence Dickinson, SkyNews magazine"Valuable for all readers with a keen interest in observational astronomy." - CHOICE"Not only is the reproduction of this book welcome as a historical document, but Barnard's largescale photographs are still today useful for understanding the larger context of individual star forming regions. Barnard, who was insistent  on seeing his Atlas published with the best quality printing techniques available at the time, would have been thrilled to see this modern version of his main body of work." - Bo Reipurth, The Star Formation Newsletter, March 2012"This wonderful book is a great tribute to a talented and meticulous astronomer, and although perhaps of great interest from a historical perspective, the original work is still of value to a modern audience." - Sky at Night
