Synopsis "En Busca de Venus (in Spanish)"

El emocionante relato de cómo los científicos ilustrados se unieron para medir las profundidades del universo. La historia de la eterna obsesión del ser humano por entender el mundo.Recomendado del librero.Durante dos días en 1761 y 1769, cientos de científicos de países europeos y de las colonias norteamericanas apuntaron sus telescopios hacia el cielo para observar un raro acontecimiento astronómico: el tránsito de Venus por delante de la superficie del Sol. Fueron enviados a los rincones más remotos de nuestro planeta para observar el encuentro celeste, que permitiría calcular el tamaño del sistema solar. En busca de Venus narra de manera extraordinaria la vida de las personas que se embarcaron en esta compleja y esencial aventura y nos ofrece un vívido retrato de las contribuciones y el entusiasmo que hubo detrás de la primera colaboración científica internacional, pero también nos presenta las rivalidades y los acontecimientos políticos que fueron obstaculizando cada paso de la investigación. Un libro rebosante de acción y detalles maravillosos que nos revela el espíritu de la Ilustración y la eterna obsesión del ser humano por entender el mundo.
