Book: The Day We Found the Universe

I'm currently several chapters into this audio book and really enjoying it.
Based from the late 1800's and forward, it covers the origins of those famous American observatories we've heard of, and how they came about, and the people who worked at then and pioneered modern astronomy as we know it, all under conditions that were so tedious and challenging by today's standards. This book has given me a new level of respect to those pioneers.
Nicely narrated and easy to listen to.
