a good introduction - By: , 18 Dec 2000 Beautifully taken photographs & informative text ignites the fascination & curiosity of space that harbours in us alll. 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, alll is comprehensively examined & explained in a way that both informs & 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.
