Lonely Planet Kids' Amazing Night Sky Atlas, the follow up to our
bestselling Amazing World Atlas, looks upwards to the skies for a
fun- and fact-packed guide to astronomy. Featuring a mixture of
photography and illustration, this hardcover book explores both the
science of stargazing - explaining what can be seen in the night
sky in different parts of the world - and the practicalities, with
handy tips such as how to use a telescope. It also covers the
background and history of astronomy, travelling around the world to
discover the different stories cultures have told about the night
sky and the influence the Moon, the stars and the movement of the
planets have had on their people. Expert insights come from David
Hawksett, a science writer, lecturer and researcher who has
previously worked as the Science & Technology Consultant at
Guinness World Records and written for Sky at Night Magazine.
Perfect for learning at home, in the classroom or being given as a
gift, Lonely Planet Kids' Amazing Night Sky Atlas will inspire
budding astronomers and excite them for a lifetime of looking to
the skies. Contents includes: Introduction to the Night Sky History
