A complete and up to date well written book on astronomy
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
Everything I wanted to know about telescopes, radio astronomy, white dwarfs, the milky way, black holes, search for other life in the universe, and the history of astronomy is all in this book. It is easily read by a layman (like me). Math background not required. Great stories of discovery! Well illustrated.
