Literature puts it: "The Stars: A New Way to See Them is a great
introduction to astronomy*.* It's readable and easy to understand. But
don't assume it's light on details. Not a bit! This reference book has
100+ pages packed with information. It's filled with illustrations of
the constellations, our solar system, and the universe. You could easily
