THE STARS NIGHT BY NIGHT

Stars Night by Night is relevant for any year and any level of knowledge and provides a portable, interesting, thorough and quirky guide to the night sky. It is sprinkled with quotes from Joseph Henry Elgie, which take us back to his observing experiences, as we ll as thoughts and observations from other astronomers of his era and before. Elgies wonderfully poetic language would give anyone incentive to look upwards in the night and see and feel the wonders he so beautifully describes.
