Book Reviews of Astronomy For Dummies
Book Review: An excellent introduction to basic astronomy.
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is a MUST read for all those interested in astronomy. It is an excellent introduction to the field of astronomy. It really helps the reader to comprehend fundamental astronomy concepts and much more complicated scientific theories and explanations.
All fundamental concepts of astronomy are covered, from the big bang to spotting the 88 constellations. It even gives the reader an explanation of antimatter and dark matter (topics which are generally discussed in quantum physics). On top of this, this book gives the reader more references on the various websites dealing with astronomy.
In summary, I would deeply recommend this book to all beginners to the topic of astronomy. If the reader desires to dive deeper into this fascinating science, he/she should visit the websites stated in this book.
