5.0 out of 5 stars
An Astronomy book not to be missed,
By
This review is from: Foundations of Astronomy With Infotrac (Paperback)
With currently 2-3 dozen astronomy books on my bookshelf I recently found this book without actually looking for it. Impressed by the extraordingly well structured contents table I felt this urge to purchase it and I was even more impressed after starting to read.The author is gifted at explaining complicated issues in a way that most beginners will understand without difficulty and more advanced backyard astronomers won't get bored (I started dealing with astronomy on a regular basis in 1992, my first books being T.Dickinson's "Nightwatch" and the "Audubon Field Guide to the Night Sky" by Mark R. Chartrand, both books still among my favorites). So if you need a comprehensive astronomy reference this is the book to buy.
