Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2013
This book was out dated lot of things have changed in the area of Astronomy since the second edition was issued. But it was my fault for not being more aware paying more attention to details (buyer beware).
Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2007
This series has always been a great introduction to the astronomy world. Although this particular edition is outdated now, especially on some of the higher concepts of light speed travel, black holes, etc., all of the basic astronomy concepts still apply and are extremely easy to grap from this graphic-heavy book.
