4.0 out of 5 stars
Good diagrams and easy format for the beginner/intermediate,
By Ivy Merriot merriot@imt.net (Bozeman, MT) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Astronomy: A Self-Teaching Guide, Fourth Edition (Paperback)
Dinah's book is a great workbook to use in conjunction with learning astronomy from a larger, more complete text. I have often left a larger text to pull out Dinah's as she gets to the point quicker and helps the reader stay focused. Although she walks you through concepts more clearly and concisely than many larger texts, you often find that you want to know *why* or just more about a particular topic, and in this regard, combining this book with Zeilik's or Arny's works very well.
