Reader Reviews
This review is from: Universe (Paperback) This book is beautiful. Well written, easy to read, with nice and informative illustrations all over, full of interesting details. The CD is also very interesting, not only for Starry Night, but also because of very illustrative simulations. The level is between popular and introductory professional. There is not much hard theory inside, but that was probably not the aim of the authors. Apart from a great thing to read for oneself, the niceness of the edition makes it also a nice gift in my opinion. Comment | | (Report this)
