[Ray Savarda · Rating 3 out of 5]

While being somewhat old, surprisingly a rather enjoyable read.
While chapters 1-3 were somewhat informational, they were not that gripping.
But chapters 4-8 were actually still a very good read (at least for me, even after reading science books for 50 years).
Overall, a worthwhile read.

Excellent, easy to understand science book, highly recommended for those that are interested in astronomy.

2015/05/24 - 2021/01/06 I finally did it :') A history of astronomy and beyond. Quite difficult to comprehend but I enjoyed the history behind the different factions. And now to rest my brain.

Well written, while it is not that deep into the field of astronomy, it is more of an introduction of sorts to the world of astronomy. If you are an astronomy fan, I recommend it. If you love science, read it for the biography as it is not an up to date book.
