Negative Positive
Title: Critical
Review: I was disppointed; the book was in perfect state, but...- The translation was, to say the least, pedestrian; but that's a detail.- The book is, admittedly, full of useful information, but very badly organized:- The angles are expressed, once in degrees, one in hours, once in radians, and sometimes in fractions of a circle, which is rather complicated for users;- I have found a number of errors in the applications, and some in the formulae; Mr Meeus, whom I deeply respect, is certainly not responsible for this;- The book would benefit from some proof of the trigonometry formulae, and mainly for clear drawings showing which angle is which; I have had to take recourse to my old astronomy lessons (sixty-seven years ago, thank you) to work them out.To conclude: good, but not for the general public! University degree required1!
