its subsequent development throughout the last hundred years at the observatory, including
the people, instruments, and methods involved in advancing high angular resolution
astronomy. Additionally, two extensive appendices cover the importance of Mount Wilson
today as well as an interferometry primer. It is an excellent book for historians,
