Each of the book's double-page spreads is a self-contained story. However, explaining the phenomena of astronomy is complex, and topics do not always fit neatly and completely under the headings superimposed on them. To deal with this, connections lead from the edge of each right-hand page to other topics, both within the same section and in different sections."
Thus begins the journey through this informative, easy-to-use text. This book's interest will range from those in Astronomy 101 or high school students who want a little more detail than their textbooks can give to middle school teachers and others who are trying to impart the simplistic beauties of the complicated subject of astronomy. It has a reading level of about the high school ages, but does not "dumb down" to them. It is written clearly and concisely and is highly suggested reading for our patrons.
