Campbell (with Ronald Rood, The New York Public Library Incredible
Earth, 1996) pens a creative and exciting introduction to almost
everything readers dreamed of knowing about space. Following the
format established in the first book, this is a collection of the
most commonly asked questions at the New York Public Library about
the basics of astronomy and their answers. Clever black-and-white
drawings throughout turn highly complex topics into simple and
understandable information. Campbell organizes the multitude of
questions into accessible chapters: "All About Astronomy," "Looking
at Celestial Objects," "The Universe and Its Galaxies," etc.,
ending with "Space Exploration." A must-have for browsers
interested in the "final frontier," and an excellent resource for
instigating specific research. (Kirkus Reviews)
