5.0 out of 5 stars
Should be called "The Invaluable Space Answer Book",
By Bull Durham (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Handy Space Answer Book (Handy Answer Books) (Paperback)
I bought this book at the Aerospace Museum in the Smithsonian in Washington. It is a fun book to refer to now and again.The format of the book is question/answer. The chapter topics include: the universe, galaxies and stars, our solar system, the Earth and its moon, observation and measurement, observation facilities, space exploration agencies and tools, technology in space, and humans in space. I especially enjoyed brushing up on my knowledge of space exploration. This book covers all the major space programs up through the International Space Station. The section on the universe is also equally interesting. The book reviews basic laws and the scientists behind them. This book is very educational. It is useful for brushing up on basic knowledge for adults, and it would make a great gift for those just learning about science and space exploration. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

This review is from: The Handy Space Answer Book (Handy Answer Books) (Paperback)
I enjoy this book. I wish I bought on Amazon.com. I bought it at the Discovery Channel Store and it is GREAT! It answers every question I have or will have about space. It goes in depth. I wish it had weblinks, color pictures, hardcover, and an editor. This book has typos and you can tell. Look at 'G' in the Index.
