A game reserve is not only ideal for viewing animals but it's also
an excellent location from which to study the stars. Stargazing
from Game Reserves in Southern Africa is a lively introduction to
the night skies, offering visitors to game reserves and nature
parks (in fact, any out-of-town location) the opportunity to turn
their binoculars skyward after dark, and to make sense of the
myriad stars and recognise some of the patterns they form. The
author takes readers on a celestial 'game drive', directing them
towards the 'Big Five' constellations of the night sky. He provides
clear steps for novice star-watchers to navigate the skies, track
the planets, and even spot the moons of Jupiter and possibly the
crescent of Venus. No prior knowledge of astronomy is needed to
enjoy these introductory excursions into the night skies. Expertly
illustrated with colour photographs, wildlife artwork, line
drawings and 12 star maps, this book is a welcome addition to the
collection of any outdoor enthusiast.
