Robert Burnham Jr.

Dover Publications, 1978

A rare book to be cherished.
Robert Burnham, Jr., spent twenty years at Lowell Observatory participating in a proper motion survey. During his tenure, he wrote this mammoth 3-volume work covering nearly every object visible in 2- to 12-inch telescopes. Each chapter, covering one constellation (both northern and southern hemispheres), begins with a detailed list of all stellar objects (double stars, variable stars, and deep ...

International Marine/Ragged Mountain Press, 2006

Excellent Reference Work
Excellent reference work with everything you need in one place to accompany your sextant. Some subjects are assumed and so if you are just learning, I recommend another book on the basics of the subject to accompany this one. But this one is a must have!

"Are the stars out tonight...?"
Celestial navigation, like knots and splices and reading maritime charts and tide tables, is one of the essential sailing skills. Whether you are a daysailer, weekender, blue water cruiser or lone circumnavigator, there WILL come a time when the GPS quits, the Loran won't work, and you're going to say, "Where the &$@!* am I?". If you haven't learned celestial nav at that point you had better be a ...

The Celestial Railroad and Other Stories (Signet Classics)

1 review
Nathaniel Hawthorne

Signet Classics, 2006

SKIP THE RAILROAD AND GET TO THE REAL STORIES
This is a nice pocket book edition of some of Nathaniel Hawthorne's greatest short stories. It's just the right size to carry around in your back pocket to read whenever you're stuck somewhere waiting for whatever it is. Hawthorne, with his Puritan ancestry, was obsessed with the idea of sin and what human beings do to conceal them from the community at large. I guess, in a way, he was concerned ...

Celestial Sampler
It is always a joy to receive my Sky and Telescope and NightSky (now deceased) magazines and open them up to Sue's columns to see what new celestial wonders await. This book is a compilation of her articles written over the years in a style that is entertaining, informative and not so technical that a novice like me can easily follow. Her introduction is a colorfully illustrated lesson on ...

Great Thangka!
I have a modest collection of new, good-quality Thangka ($150 to $400, up to 25"), but the quality of the Thangka displayed in this collection are beyond my price and size range. If you are considering buying a Thangka, get this book first to see how high the bar can go. No faded antiques here. For the most part the book's format is one page text, one page painting, but some intricate Thangka ...

Celestial 911: Call with Your Right Brain for Answers!

Robert Stone

Llewellyn Publications, 1997

Quintessential self-help
Very absorbing and seemingly useful self-help book with many exercises. A few pop-style areas but for the most part thoroughly enlightened, and in my view spiritually accurate. Read this if you are interested in practicalising your spiritual understanding and living a better life.

One Hundred Problems in Celestial Navigation, Second Edition

Leonard Gray

Paradise Cay Publications, 1999

A superb manual for safely practicing and honing one's navigational skills
Even in a world with accurate and cheap GPS receivers, traditional navigation with a sextant, an almanac, and a book of tables is still an important skill - sometimes batteries go dead or electronic devices fail, especially in salt air! Written by experienced navigator Leonard Gray, 100 Problems In Celestial Navigation: Self Contained - With Answers is a compendium of realistic navigation ...

Ernest Holmes

Science of Mind Publishing, 1978

Voice Celestial Opens your heart to the Celestial
The Voice Celestial was written by Ernest Holmes and Fenwick Holmes, his equally brilliant brother. Done in the style of an Epic poem it is incredibly inspiring and echoes the feelings and intents of those who are on a serious spiritual path. The introduction includes quotes by Dr. James P. Pottenger, now the "heir apparent" to the legacy of Ernest Holmes. Pottenger was the closest ...

Astrology Has Never Been So Fun and Easy
Kiki T. has written such a thorough and common sense book of Astrology!! I could NOT put this book down. I had the best time reading it and thinking of everyone I knew. Even though I have been married for 14 years and don't plan on dating(anytime soon LOL) I still got a huge kick out of Kiki's book. I think it has helped me understand everyone better in my life, my kids, my parents, my P.T.A. ...

A surprisingly rich setting
This entry in the Compass of Celestial Directions series follows its forebears in presenting a supernatural setting within (or in this case, beneath) Exalted's Creation. In this book there are stats for various sorts of ghosts, both benign and malign, more info on the Deathlords, the dual monarchy of Stygia, and lots of interesting locales, including major shadowlands. It's also got the most info ...

Celestial Navigation in a Nutshell (Seafarer Books)

Hewitt Schlereth

Sheridan House, 2000

Why celestial navigation?
With modern GPS navigation now omnipresent, why would anyone want to use celestial navigation? Because it's fun, it teaches some valuable lessons about how celestial bodies can show where you are on the earth's surface, and it could be a useful backup in case of loss of GPS due to dead batteries or loss of satellites. This book teaches the subject in easy to understand language, and with just ...

Academics & serious students of acupuncture only should buy
After finding out that what is taught in the West as `Traditional Chinese Medicine' was basically created by a Chinese Communist government committee from some but not all of the various ancient texts and practices that are available, I wanted to reconstruct Traditional Chinese Medicine (particularly acupuncture) as it actually existed prior to the Communist revolution. I came across Celestial ...

A book with overwhelming information...
Being an amateur astronomer I bought this and the other two volumes recently and I have found it indispensible. Im writing this review keeping solely the tyro's in mind, since one knowledgeable in astronomy would have already had this book. If you are getting interested in astronomy, this is the book to buy - it will surely deepen your interest. Get the book and take a journey through the starts ...

Sweet Memories
As a lover of cookbooks and the owner of over 450+...this one will have a little note inside that will direct my children not to give, sell or trade this one (should I predecease them!). Growing up Black in the 50's and 60's brought back sweet memories of MY "Church Lady" Mother and what a wonderful natural home cook she was! Thank you Ms. Miller, this one is a Keeper. Ms.C

Robert Burnham

Dover Publications, 1978

Undoubtedly helpful
As I told in my previous review (bernardo@esfm.ipn.mx, 1998), Burnham's Handbook continues to be a daily reference for most amateur astronomers because it hasn't been surpassed, even rivalled. We all know that the coordinates it gives are not the current ones. We all know that some of its data is out of date. We all know that its typing is old-fashioned. We all know that its pictures are not ...

Celestial Harmonies: A Novel (P.S.)
Peter Esterhazy

Harper Perennial, 2005

The Esterházys, one of Europe's most prominent aristocratic families, are closely linked to the rise and fall of the Hapsburg Empire. Princes, counts, commanders, diplomats, bishops, and patrons of the arts, revered, respected, and occasionally feared by their contemporaries, their story is as complex as the history of Hungary itself. Celestial Harmonies is the intricate chronicle of this remarkable family, a saga spanning seven centuries of ...
