'Stargazing is a lovely book. It's personal, delicate and beautifully innocent. For those more experienced astronomers, it is a reminder of why so many of us immerse ourselves in the hobby, and for those just starting out, it is a useful leg-up onto the first rung of the stargazing ladder.
In this accessible and feel-good stargazing guide he majors on how looking up at the night sky is good for mental well-being. Written from the heart but with expert tips, The Secret World of Stargazing acts as a succinct and simple to understand manual for any "accidental stargazers" who picked up the habit during 2020 and now want to take the next step and learn to navigate and to know the night sky.
An excellent, readable, bright guide to the night sky.
A superb introduction to astronomy.
