...This gets a one, not just for poor presentation but because it doesn't tell anyone enough to get started in astronomy....
This is a very short booklet about astronomy.
I would not recommend this book. It has very bad english, noticeable from the first page, (sentences beginning with And), and instead of detailing facts it provides wikipedia links. Capitalisation is erratic and grammar better not discussed
There are factual errors inside it, but more importantly it does not contain information that would get you started on astronomy: it contains a brief history that confuses astronomy and astrology, a short description of the solar system and a very short description of other phenomena. Terms like event horizon are incorrectly defined and others like Lagrange points go unexplained.
This gets a one, not just for poor presentation but because it doesn’t tell anyone enough to get started in astronomy.
