Book Reviews of Astronomy: A Self-Teaching Guide, Sixth Edition
Book Review: Good value for money!
Summary: 4 Stars
This book provides a stimulating introduction to astronomy for beginners. The sixth edition is updated with latest research into black holes, active galaxies and quasars, searches for life in space, origin and structure of our universe. I particularly like the many photos and diagrams included in the book for illustration and that each chapter is organized into small sections for easy learning.
