This is an unusual and practical guide to the sky as we see it --
with the naked eye. The author, an experienced teacher, leads the
reader from the stars as seen from Earth, through observation of
the Sun, Moon and various planets, to a deeper understanding of the
Copernican revolution, comets and meteors, and to the sky of the
Southern Hemisphere. The text includes mythological and historical
aspects of the subject and has numerous exercises for the student.
The final chapter is a unique collection of poetry related to the
stars from ancient India to modern times. Appendices include future
astronomical events, technical data, materials and publications,
and a comprehensive glossary of astronomical terms.
