5.0 out of 5 stars Explanatory Supplement to the Astronomical Almanac, March 27, 2000
By A Customer
If you need to know the details of astronomical or geodetic computations, or need to know how the tables in the Astronomical Almanac are computed, or need to know what the various versions of "Universal Time" are and how to compute them, you need this book. It is the definitive reference for many things, and gives you the definitive reference for the rest.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Supplement, September 6, 2008
By Danny "dannyza" (JHB, South Africa) - See all my reviews
Its information is useful, thought out, consistent and reliable. It was ordered in a similar fashion to the Almanac, which made cross-referencing easy. Its comments, although somewhat brief in places, are very helpful, and its citation of sources, very helpful. All in all, I was thoroughly impressed with it, and its soft-cover a good choice, since the binding has yet to be a problem. (I bought this in 2007).

I am very happy with it, and constantly refer to it. It is a standard reference piece in any astronomer's library.
