Unabridged Bookstore is a real life physical bookstore located at 3251 N. Broadway in Chicago, IL. This is our Tumblr of books and other misc. things that sometimes involve books, but might also involve kittens. Scroll down a bit to start reading, or a bit more to read more about me.
The New York Times fills us in on the historic event taking place next Tuesday: the transit of Venus. See it now, because the next transit won’t take place until 2117.
To find out how scientists in the eighteenth-century used the transit of Venus to calculate the size of the solar system, read Andrea Wulf’s Chasing Venus.
