Cosmos
ISBN-13: 978-1905204298
I saw this book at a used book store some years ago and
got the biggest book boner I have ever had for one of the tallest if not
largest books in my collection. Cosmos by Giles Sparrow is a beautiful coffee
table book with wonderful images and information.
I noted that at the end of every page the sentence
ended so there was no carry over. This wasn’t hard as the pages are so large
and filled with images. On the down side the images on these pages are
sensitive. You can smudge them with the moisture from your hand leaving dark
spots that may or may not go away. You may want to handle this book with
gloves.
Another down side is that this book was published
before Pluto officially became a dwarf planet. However, the text mentions that
Pluto should be a dwarf planet and names other planets of the type.
I’m not the only one who liked this book. On my last
check Amazon had the book rated with five stars over thirty five reviews. Used
copies can be had for as little as four dollars plus shipping.
Who should read this book?
Those who love to look up at the stars.
Young aspiring astronomers.
Sci fi geeks who would like to know more about the
stars.
