This is a thorough  very readable and excellently illustrated biography of Willem de Sitter
(1872-1934)  one of the most influential astronomers of his time  and also a co-author and
correspondent of Einstein. Authored by a physicist and skilled writer  the book gives a
beautiful and accessible description of the physics debated by Einstein and de Sitter  as well
as the latter's alternative cosmological model  later known as the De Sitter Universe. But this
is just part of a fascinating and varied life story involving numerous contributions to
astronomy  as well as many places and personalities of early 20th century physics. The book
will appeal to all those interested in astronomy and physics and their history.
