"The value of this book is that it not only gives a thorough description of Tebbutt, his life, and his work, but it also maps out the history of observational astronomy in Australia (including 44 potted biographies of contemporary astronomical figures) and highlights the vital part that Tebbutt had in it." (Robert Argyle, The Observatory, Vol. 137 (1261), December, 2017)
"Tebbut ... professional life is detailed in the different chapters offered by Wayne Orchiston in this book, rich in information, images, photographs and details about the Australian context. A comprehensive book to learn about the development of astronomy in another continent. A book suggested to both undergraduate students, courses of history of astronomy but also to any interested people." (Gabriella Bernardi, Astrocom et al., astrocometal.blogspot.de, January, 2017)
