The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Astronomy

The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Astronomy

By: Christopher De Pree, Ph.D. and Alan Axelrod, Ph.D.

You are not alone. Relax. That statement has nothing to do with the existence of extraterrestrial life though we do get around to that, too.

The very earliest scientific records we have from Babylon, from Egypt, from China all concern astronomy. Recorded history spans about 5,500 years, and the recorded history of astronomy starts at the beginning of that period. Humans have been sky watchers for a very, very long time. And yet astronomy is also among the most modern of sciences. [download]
