This book will undoubtedly prove to be an admirable adjunct to class tuition which is normally greatly restricted in scope as practical work in astronomy at elementary and intermediate level presents difficulty for teachers.
-Spaceflight, February 1991
This book fills a need in astronomy for more advanced resources using real data and it will appeal to teachers as well as students.
