Beschreibung:
Terence Dickinson, one of Canada's best-loved amateur-astronomy writers, gained renown for unraveling the mysteries of the cosmos. His down-to-earth style made him the award-winning best-selling author of 14 astronomy books, including NightWatch, The Backyard Astronomer's Guide, The Universe and Beyond and Hubble's Universe. The cofounder and former editor of SkyNews, Canada's national astronomy magazine, Dickinson was a recipient of the Order of Canada and two honorary doctorates.
Often cited as the best introduction to stargazing, the fourth edition of "NightWatch" is revised throughout and includes star charts, equipment suggestions, astrophotography, and tables and references good until 2018.
