Publisher and industry reviews
UK Kirkus review
Space is still the stuff of futuristic dreams. Despite the wealth of material in this comprehensive encyclopedia, there is much that we can only surmise. Clearly laid out and copiously illustrated, topics covered are telescopes, invisible astronomies, exploring space, planets and moons, the stars and beyond the galaxies and practical stargazing. This edition includes an interactive CD-Rom with a virtual observatory, making it excellent value. (10 yrs +) (Kirkus UK)
