"Morphological Astronomy" by F. Zwicky, published by Springer-Verlag in 1957, is a seminal work in the field of astrophysics. This hardcover edition, printed in Berlin, Göttingen, and Heidelberg, showcases Zwicky's pioneering approach to the study of the cosmos through morphological methods. As a professor of astrophysics at the California Institute of Technology and an astronomer at Mount Wilson and Palomar Observatories, Zwicky’s contributions to astronomy are well-regarded. This edition is particularly notable for its inclusion of 55 figures, providing visual insights into the text. This copy appears to be an ex-library edition, with markings on the spine, but lacks a dust jacket. Its scarcity in the market makes it a valuable addition for collectors of scientific literature and those interested in the history of astronomy.
