A fascinating, award-winning book by a master of popular science writing. Written with an obvious love for the material, Seeing in the Dark probes most aspects of this science to some but hobby to many. End-of-chapter vignettes of aficionados only add to the warmth of the text, and appendixes covering (among other things) observation techniques, Messier objects and star maps, as well as a 19-page glossary (highly browsable in its own right) make this a book that will be cherished by amateur astronomers for years to come.
