Who was it who first anticipated black holes? Who accidentally discovered
pulsars? And who first 鈥減roved鈥� Einstein鈥檚 general theory of relativity? John

the unsung heroes of astronomy in an entertaining introduction to its main
themes. In such essays as 鈥淗ow Darwin discovered relativity鈥� he delights in the
fortuitous but elegant way disparate theories arose and linked together.
