Amateur astronomer Mortillaro (ed., Journal of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada), working with the RASC, compiles a compact month-by-month guide to celestial events and moon phases, with north- and south-facing sky charts for viewers in the Northern Hemisphere. Introductory chapters cover information on binoculars and telescopes and necessary vocabulary for new viewers (azimuth; celestial sphere), along with brief general information on planets and other viewable non-star objects, such as comets and galaxies.
VERDICT More than 60 illustrations and detailed monthly notes makes this a good choice for Northern Hemisphere public libraries.
