Review:
A Good Beginning Book on Astronomy
Patrick Moore outlines basic principles of Astronomy
in this edition of the 'Teach Yourself' series.
Moore, an English astronomer effectively teaches the beginner how to look at the stars.
While astronomy is often associated with complex mathematics,
Moore almost completely avoids the mathematical aspects
of astronomy and simply teaches the reader how to look at the stars,
identify constellations; buy, make and use a telescope.
A great book for the beginner, Moore's bias towards accomplishments of English
Astronomers and a hint of animosity towards American accomplishments
seems to indicate that his target reading audience is of British nationality
and does take a little something away from this otherwise great book.
