How can you draw a crater on the Moon, sketch a glowing nebula or photograph
a constellation? All the answers are here in The Pocket Guide to Astronomy
(Dragon’s World, pp 192, 6.95 Pounds). Ian Ridpath’s book fully lives up
to its claim to be a ‘pocket guide’: compact in size and stoutly constructed
with a spiral binding so you can easily lay it flat. The book is profoundly
practical. As well as clear instructions on finding and observing the constellations,
the Sun, the Moon and planets, Ridpath provides an up-to-date guide through
the minefield of selecting a pair of binoculars or a small telescope.
