Customer Reviews

A good overview about Supernovae, though its from 1988

This book brings a good overview to the reader, how Supernovae brings their information to our planet and how they develop with all the basics of astrophysics an cosmology needed to understand. It was published first in 1988 but a 2. series came out in 1994. So you can't find the newest informations on Supernovae.

A Blast!

Found the book to be inspirational to my own writing. A good introduction to the lay person, and with healthy detail for the versed.
