5.0 out of 5 stars
INVALUABLE RESOURCE FOR ANY TEACHER OF ASTRONOMY.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Facts on File Dictionary of Astronomy (Paperback)
This book has been a lifesaver for me many times when I needed authoritative information in a hurry. If you are a teacher of astronomy--at any level from undergrad on up--you will never regret having this on your shelf! Many times, after searching in vain through half-a-dozen textbooks for some item of information, I have turned to Facts-on-File Astronomy and found the answer directly, without further ado. I believe this is a "must" for every serious teacher, student, or researcher in Astronomy and Astrophysics.
5.0 out of 5 stars
An essential book.,

This review is from: The Facts on File Dictionary of Astronomy (Paperback)
I can't praise this publication highly enough. For anyone who is interested in astronomy, it's a must. Not just a world class reference work, but one to be read for pleasure. You may well find yourself opening it at random and learning -- and enjoying.
What's more, the production values are first rate. Although the format is soft cover, the paper and the printing are of as high a quality as you'll find anywhere. I can't imagine being without this book; I only wish I could give it more than five stars.
