Synopsis: A beginner’s book on astronomy, which should enable anyone to locate the various constellations. Primer for Star Gazers explains in simple pictures and directions, with brief consideration to fixed stars, the northern sky and the planets. It includes a star calendar.“This book is an effort to rescue the ancient love of simple star-gazing from the avalanche of mathematics and physics under which modern astronomy threatens to bury it.”—Henry M. Neely“For the absolute amateur, who does not want too scientific a study but does want to be able to recognize the principal stars and constellations”—Kirkus Review
