Howard Schneider

As a layman star-gazer and new owner of a modest telescope, this book is a cool introduction to the stars. In my opinion, it is geared towards a younger audience. However, I have a 11 year old and I feel this book speaks to us both. Excellent entry point into stargazing.

Whether you're a beginning astronomer or have more than a mild curiosity for the sky above, this book is for you. This combines expert yet easy to follow information with pictures, charts, graphs, and illustrations to lead anyone through a fun evening of space exploration. This book is good for all ages.
