If you are thinking of the perfect gift to get the (radio) astronomer in your life, how about “Under the Radar: The First Woman in Radio Astronomy, Ruby Payne-Scott.” Miller Goss, one of the authors of this book, is one of the most pre-eminent radio astronomers in the US and was a former director of the Very Large Array. Go here for more information, and check back this site soon for an interview with Dr. Goss on this fascinating subject (I know it is on my hard drive someplace....)
