The book astronomy is full of scientific space related projects you can do and you learn something for the projects for future purposes.

Lots of astronomy concepts covered in short, pithy paragraphs. Great for looking something up or for reading straight through, and it never lingers on one subject long enough to get bored with it (not that I would). Includes lots of illustrations and printed on brown paper.

I think the book needs to be updated. But in a nutshell, the book is quite complete.
