Fourteen chapters in four Parts

• 9 engines to run
• 13 worked cases
• 16 historical parallaxes
• 39 scientists
• The book and the author

Each chapter has a narrative half and an engine room: the models, their statements and the certificates. On this site each chapter page shows its model cards, the results in words, the people behind them, and the chapter's parallax in history. Page numbers are those of the printed book.
