Publisher's Synopsis

""The Stars Are Still There"" is a collection of essays by author Stewart Edward White. The book is a reflection on the beauty and wonder of the natural world, with a particular focus on the night sky and the stars. White's essays explore the ways in which the stars have inspired and captivated human beings throughout history, and how they continue to do so today. He also considers the impact of modern technology on our relationship with the stars, and the importance of preserving the natural world for future generations. With lyrical prose and a deep appreciation for the mysteries of the universe, ""The Stars Are Still There"" is a poetic and thought-provoking meditation on the beauty and majesty of the cosmos.The moment we give the law of complement its full and literal value many puzzling things are explained. Why, for instance, as so many correspondents complain, does help, attention, aid, even just decent interest on the part of our Invisibles-our Guardian Angels so to speak-seem so capricious? Anybody with the slightest experience can report on that. Sometimes we seem wholly abandoned in a mess that one would think must impel the most misanthropic to lend a hand. There is no sense to it-if these Invisibles are really our friends who wish us well. And yet they seem to have the power to help us if they choose.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
