Editorial Review: Product Description: This is a clear, vivid text with charts and maps showing the positions of the constellations the year round. Average Rating:
 Rating: - The Stars; A New Way to See ThemThis is a great book for beginning star gazers. It is easy to read and does not overwhelm me with scientific information...just helps me find the stars and constellations and learn their names. Rating: - Truly usefulI got this book to use with a sixth-grade class. My subject is mythology, and I hope to use some of the constellation drawings as a starting point for an art project for them.

It doesn't have any color pictures from Hubble or triple fold out sky maps but just the information one needs to know to enjoy the sky persented in understandable terms. I reguard the constellations as my life-long friends due ...

Among its many outstanding features are the Planetary Tables on pp. 134-135 that show you where the visible planets will be located as the years pass. The tables run from 1997-2006. The tables in the current edition are therefore out of date (type "134" into the "Search Inside" box and look at pp. 134 and 135). I realize this ... Read More: |
