A fabulous book of thrilling information about the stars and planets, constellations and generally all things to do with our night sky. The author uses a chatty, conversational tone to explore the detail and facts of our universal sky and includes lots of opportunities for interacting with the text. There are fun facts, website URLs for further investigation and a ‘top 5 facts’ section at the end of chapters.
At the end of the book there is a section of further reading and ‘notes for the interested reader’, and a list of apps to use for studying the night sky. This is a great book to dip in and out of, or to read cover to cover. The information is innovatively presented and is clear and accessible. Its illustrations are wonderful and all of them show diversity of representation. This is a quality production, authentically researched and written and well-designed with the modern audience in mind.
