Good book for starting astronomers!!
I only just opened it but it looks promising and full of in depth information for the amateur astronomer. A wealth of information in a single book. Before now I have been taking much of my knowledge from documentary TV shows such as the Universe and How the Universe Works (which I also highly recommend watching) and Wikipedia (which I don't entirely recommend as anything Wikipedia has a common tendency to be highly objective information) so I'm excited about this. If I come back, and I will, and lower my score then you know this book will have left much to be desired if not a complete disappointment but I hope it won't be. To science and astrophysics!!!
