"This new volume in the Peterson Field Guide Series is the clearest, most complete pocket guide to the night sky ever published. The authoritative text by Donald H. Menzel, former director of the Harvard College Observatory, and numerous charts, photographs, drawings, and astronomical tables convey the basic information needed by amateur astronomers. Its 48 Sky Maps enable the observer, anywhere on earth, to identify the constellations and check the position of the brightest stars. The constellation drawings, based largely on the ingenious designs originated by H.A. Rey, actually resemble the figures the stars represent. For identifying the fainter stars, the book contains a comprehensive atlas of the sky. Each of its 54 charts appears twice, once as seen in the telescope and again on the facing page with the names of the stars, nebulae, clusters, and other objects superimposed. These charts and the accompanying text provide the reader with a pictorial road map to sky watching with binocular or telescope. A similar photographic atlas of he moon displays the topographic features of the earth's satellite in startling detail. Other sections of the book cover the solar system, the planets, and other bodies such as comets, meteors, and asteroids. Two chapters offer helpful information to the beginner about the use of the telescope and camera in astronomy. Those more advanced in their knowledge of astronomy will find useful the chapter on the intricacies of sidereal and solar time. This book will be invaluable to anyone who try to find his way around in the night skies to learn more about the earth's near and neighbors, with the naked eye, binocular, telescope."- Publisher

Sets out a simple month-by-month program to reveal all of the night sky's biggest and most beautiful secrets in just one year – and with only a few hours of stargazing each month By investing just an hour a week and $50 in binoculars, it’s possible to learn a few simple techniques and quickly gain a real insight into the night sky's ever-changing patterns – and what they tell us about Earth, the seasons and ourselves. Searching more for a learned appreciation of nature and our exact place within the cosmos than academic scientific knowledge, science and travel writer Jamie Carter takes the reader on a 12 month tour of the night sky's incredible annual rhythms that say so much about Earth. During the journey he learns about the celestial mechanics at work in the skies above that are – to the beginner – almost beyond belief. As well as the vital constellations and clusters, and the weird and wonderful nebulas, he searches out “dark sky destinations” across the globe that help increase knowledge and give a new perspective on familiar night sky sights. On the journey he witnesses a solar eclipse and grapples with star-charts, binoculars, smartphone apps, telescopes, spots satellites and attempts basic astro-photography. By year's end, the reader will be able to glance at the night sky from anywhere on the planet and tell what direction he or she is facing, what time it is, where all the planets are and even where the Galactic Center Point is.

2013 Orion Book Award Winner 2013 Sigurd F. Olson Nature Writing Award Winner Ours is not a stable planet. It is prone to sudden, violent natural disasters and extremes of climate. In this exhilarating exploration of our globe, Craig Childs goes to where the apocalypse can be seen now. From the driest deserts of Chile, through the genetic wasteland of central Iowa, to the site of the drowned land bridge of the Bering Sea, he uncovers cataclysms that tell us what could be next: forthcoming ice ages, super volcanoes, and the conclusion of planetary life cycles. Childs delivers a sensual feast in his descriptions of the natural world, and undeniable science that reveals both the earth’s strengths and frailties. Bearing witness to the planet’s sweeping and perilous changes, he shows how we can alter the future, and how the world will live on, though humans may not survive to see it.
