Eureka!

This book is very well written and definitely helps the reader understand complex ideas in a simple way. Easy to follow, and well illustrated...especially if you prefer pictures to words. The book doesn't drag along-it's format is brief and to the point. By the end, I felt like I could actually explain the intricacies of the night sky. Well done!
