The Stargazer's Guide by Emily Winterburn
Guides you through what there is to see in the sky, why it's interesting and how previous generations have viewed and interpreted it. This book is organised month by month, and takes you through the various stories - mythological, historical and scientific - associated with the night sky and provides diagrams to identify the constellations.
Emily Winterburn comes from a background in physics and the history of science. As the Curator of Astronomy at the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, she is responsible for one of the world's most important astronomy collections. Emily has written for the BBC and Astronomy Now magazine and has appeared on the BBC's What the Ancients Did for Us, the Channel 4 News and most recently In Our Time with Melvyn Bragg. The poster-girl for a new generation of astronomers, her engaging approach is very much in demand.
