Review: Great intro to astronomy without getting too technical, but definitely not dumbed down. - Maybe the best self teaching book I’ve ever purchased. Deepened my knowledge of the cosmos and the wonder of it all. Generous inclusion of websites such as Hubble. No wonder it has gone 8 editions. Many stars.
Review: Well written and easy to Understand... However - If you are more interested in a book for observing the stars and the planets this may not be a great book. It is more on the intricate information on the scientific nature of our galaxy. Although interesting a lot of information, think about a Science Class, I do not want to know. If you are a want to be Astronomer this book would be perfect. I like the book Astronomy for Dummies, 4th addition.... it is a gold mine of information for those that want to observe the Sun Moon and Stars...

Very good book. My 5 year old son enjoys it too. Only complaint; I wish the images were not B&W but colorful.
