Astronomy

I have been absolutely amazed by this book. I have always had an interest in astronomy but, other than casual reading, have never taken the trouble to explore the subject more deeply. I have studied this book from beginning to end and followed all the links, the extent of the material is amazing. I would seriously recommend this book to anyone from 12 to 100 . You do not need advanced physics or maths to reach a decent level of understanding in the subject. I have no doubt this is one book I will re-read again and again.

A really great read giving you enough information and detail to keep you interested and informed. Consider if a great teaching tool for anyone interested in the solar system and stars or anyone embarking on a career in astronomy. Plenty of questions to keep the grey matter thinking and references galore if you want to extend your knowledge on any particular topic. A sound platform on the basics of astronomy and how worlds evolve and a very good read for anyone not technically minded but likes to know how the heavens work.

It is so very informative, full of facts, figures, information, resources, explanation, definitions. It's free, massive, vast, almost like the universe!

The book which was incredibly for free, is remarkable. Not only is it a very informative and easy read, it also, like any good lesson in the the classroom, states the objectives of the subsequent chapter. Then it summarizes the chapter with a series of question and answers, or questions for a group or individuals consideration. Another great feature is a series of hypertext links to the internet where further information and simulations can be found. The book also contains a very extensive further reading list. Brilliant!

I bought this (actually it was free) to get information on a specific question, but I found the book so readable and engaging that I am now reading it from front to cover - although the back cover for me is still a long way off as it is a very long book. Very suitable for beginners, it is pitched at a high enough level to keep all readers happy. It is very good value at the full hardcopy price, but if you can get it for free or a few quid on Kindle then it is an absolute steal. Definitely recommended if you have any interest whatsoever in astronomy.

This is great for the hobbyist and the academic. Great little book packed with interesting facts and explained very well indeed.Thank you

Very good book

Gosh what an interesting book! Unfortunately it got too much for me to read so I have stopped now, but that doesn't detract from the fact that this was an amazing free book to read.
