Integration of Astronomy in the Rizal Course

This book deals with the integration of astronomy in the Rizal Course with plenty of photographs and historical accounts related to astronomy in the Philippines. The book also investigates why Rizal appeared not to have constructed any telescope when he had the know-how and materials to do so. Did his teacher in astronomy Fr. Faura fail to motivate him enough? Using backcasting and scenario techniques the bright future of astronomy in the Philippines and other Asian countries is pictured.
