Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
[A] detailed, accessible handbook to the heavens [that] offers budding astronomers, engineers, and mathematicians a roadmap and equipment list for starting their explorations of space and its infinite possibilities... Harvey-Smith's enthusiasm for her subject matter is clear in her presentation of the awe-inspiring features of the cosmos in a casual, conversational style... Accompanying [the] informative text are playful color illustrations... The prose and art together are likely to exert gravitational pull on readers young and old, motivating them to look more closely at the marvels right above them every night.-- "Shelf Awareness (starred review)"
Expand your knowledge of the universe with this comprehensive guide to the Northern and Southern hemispheres... This book helps readers prepare for their future stargazing efforts... Charming illustrations are found throughout... A good addition to nonfiction collections for a well-rounded and detailed view of the night sky.-- "School Library Journal"
