Title: Awesome reading
Product review: I'm a bit late to the game, but so glad I picked this up. Phil Plait's tone is humorous, honest, and encouraging. I'm a molecular biologist, but this is an easy read to branch out into astronomy. I will admit to being corrected about a few concepts.Many topics (Why is the sky blue? Why do stars twinkle?) are explained in a manner that I'll be able to pass on to nieces and nephews when they ask.I also wish this book was mandatory reading for all members of congress, or at least his blog was.I would definitely recommend this book to anyone curious; it's an excellent read.
