a good introduction, 19 Dec 2000
By A Customer
Beautifully taken photographs and informative text ignites the fascination and curiosity of space that harbours in us all. There are surely few other books that can be as succesfully persuasive to a interested novice astronomer as this one. From our immediate solar system to deep space, all is comprehensively examined and explained in a way that both informs and prompts participation in the activity. Although clearly aimed towards the reader new to astronomy, I feel that this book would well deserve its place on any enthusiastic skywatchers shelf.
