Astronomy 101: From the Sun and Moon to Wormholes and Warp Drive, Key Theories, Discoveries, and Facts about the Universe
I've been studying and writing about astronomy most of my life. It's a wonderful science -- a gateway to so many other sciences -- and to the universe itself! I've written several books about astronomy as well as countless articles in newspapers and magazines. Astronomy keeps supplying me with great material to cover and I do my best to distill that firehose of knowledge for my readers. Astronomy 101 was designed by the publishers to give readers a small taste of a variety of topics in astronomy. Got a few minutes to take a break? Pick up Astronomy 101 and read a thousand words on Mars, or black holes, or extraterrestrial life, or learn about how a famous astronomer did her work. Astronomy 101 isn't a big textbook -- it's a smorgasbord of knowledge about the stars, planets, galaxies, and the universe. If something piques your interest, there are links to books and online sources for you to pursue.
