Book Description
A bold new look at descriptive astronomy.
A short, but complete review of descriptive astronomy for non-science majors--a new-age emphasis. Very little math involved. History, the solar system, stars, galaxies, and cosmology are covered with scores of illustrations and surprising clarity. (57 pages, 8 1/2 x 11, single-spaced.) "This is a fascinating new way to learn Astronomy!" Narada Moy, PhD, writer and astronomer.
