Chasing Venus: The Race to Measure the Heavens by Andrea Wulf

adventurous emotional funny informative slow-paced

 I liked the book itself, but it was often quite long-winded and I had to force myself to finish reading it. This may be because the topic itself is not really in my area of ​​interest. However, there were also many details that were not really necessary and took some of the excitement out of the book. Nevertheless, the book was (as you would expect from Andrea Wulf) excellently researched and the elements of the story were well-connected.  I always enjoy reading books by her because she makes learning about new topics more interesting than a lot of other authors and while this book was not a favourite for me, I can still appreciate her work.
