A high-schooler who likes science? An adult who likes to look at the sky? Someone (maybe yourself) who has never understood why Pluto got 'demoted', how we know there was a Big Bang, or what the heck gravity waves are? This latest fact-filled, picture-rich, and accessible to most everyone volume from Dorling Kindersley Ltd. (Great Britain) is a sure-fire winner in every respect. Having taught science for 38 years at levels from middle school through college, I can tell when a science-related volume hits the mark with both its content's "reach" and its presentation. As with DK's 2014 Science Book, the on-point text is augmented with simple flow charts, full-color illustrations, links to related topics, and lots of brief bios about the people who spent years discovering what is presented. Also noteworthy... this volume contains several longish biographies of women astronomers like: Jocelyn Bell Burnell, Annie Jump Cannon, Margaret Geller, Henrietta Swan Leavitt, Cecilia Payne-Gaposchin, Vera Rubin, and Beatrice Tinsley. The contributors are experienced in science book writing and in astronomy to the degree necessary in order to pull off the task of communicating both simple and challenging ideas to a wide variety of potential readers. Review: Book Approved by Bill - I wonder often about the universe, but not as a number cruncher does, because they believe something can come from nothing. I am much more sensible in knowing that it was created by an all knowing and powerful God. The book is a general knowledge book that even a novice can see that the universe has order, and I chose to believe that order comes not by physics laws, but intelligence. You do know that the moon is not the correct size and weight to act as it does? The dogma that tv physicists would want you believe is bunk, as Archie Bunker would say. NASA wants to go to Mars costing 1 Trillion, yet we have so many disease's than still ravage man, but NASA knows, and this book is not to full of Scientific Dogma, but just facts your teenager needs to know about the Heavens, and "This book is Approved by Bill." You see that stamp you can be sure it does not clash with the truth. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #193,666 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #6 in Comets, Meteors & Asteroids #124 in Astronomy (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (1,441) | | Dimensions | 7.75 x 0.78 x 9.25 inches | | Edition | Illustrated | | ISBN-10 | 0744028493 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0744028492 | | Item Weight | 2.1 pounds | | Language | English | | Part of series | DK Big Ideas | | Print length | 352 pages | | Publication date | February 2, 2021 | | Publisher | DK | ## Images ![The Astronomy Book (DK Big Ideas) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81w-+uwOiDL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's astronomy for everyone and a browser's delight !! *by J***. on November 28, 2017* Looking for a gift book for a curious 7th-grader?
