So far I have been very pleased with this book. It is easy to read and understand and, as far as textbooks go, fairly enjoyable (it also has helpful graphics and colorful pictures which, admit it, we all like). It does not get too far into the mathematics of astronomy but that's not necessarily a bad thing and the math examples ("Mathematical Insights") are also very helpful and easy to understand. I have never read any other astronomy textbooks but this one seems to be very good and has given me nothing to make me unhappy so far.

Superby written

There could not be a more well written book covering every aspect of basic astronomy. No detail has been overlooked and the language is precisely clear. As one progresses through the text, it unwinds like a well written novel, with the only difference being that it is all actual fact and not fiction. Well done!
