nI am delighted to inform you that my book The Origins of astronomy will be available in various formats at LUlu and amazon. There is an author spotlight page where you can find the various formats
http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/kaushal44. I was truly a long drawn out ordeal to format the book.
There have been critiques of the book
1. That it is too big at 625 pages
2. Some [people sre frightened away by the Mathematics in the book (first year college level
3. That the book tries to cover too much
To quell the criticism arising from the first and second comment I will follow up with an Idiots guide to the Origins of astronomy. It is not a dumbed down version of the original. I will try to do an Issac Asimov type of book.Paradoxically the sentences that will replace the mathematical arguments will necessitate all my pedagogical skills that i possess, since mathematics is the best way to describe certain kinds of logic. I will have to more to say on this whole topic, so stay tuned.
