Entertaining and Excellent Light Reading for All Age Groups,

This review is from: The History of Astronomy (Hardcover)
This book is large enough at 10" x 12" to be considered a `coffee table' book. The book features a nice mix of scientific explanation, biographical information, and excellent pictures.
The history starts with ancient astronomical structures and Polynesian navigators and continues in a progressive timeline to the 1976 Mars Viking landers and current SETI antennas. The latest Mars rovers and Phoenix lander are not covered. I highly recommend the book for light bedtime reading. As the book isn't too technical, it is suitable for younger readers. At the same time, it provides intriguing enough information to encourage me to search the web for additional details regarding some of the astronomers and topics that are presented.
