Integration of Astronomy in the Rizal Course

The hardbound edition of the book that deals with the integration of astronomy in the Rizal Course, with larger photographs and added historical accounts related to astronomy in the Philippines. The book investigates why Rizal appeared not to have constructed any telescope when he had the know-how and materials to do so. His Jesuit teacher, Padre Faura, may have been a first-rate scientist, but why didn't he motivate Rizal enough? Who was Rizal alluding to in Chapter 59 of his first novel, who burned Copernicus' book in fear, anger and ignorance? Backcasting and scenario techniques are employed to picture the bright future of astronomy in the Philippines and other Asian countries. It took a Galileo to complete Copernicus' Revolution. Perhaps, it will take a Torres, a Celebre, a Ty, an Esguerra, or an Ong to complete Rizal's.
