Norton's Star Atlas and Reference Handbook by Ian Ridpath
Generations of amateur astronomers have called it simply Norton's - the most famous Star Atlas in the world. It's immediate success was largely due to "Norton's" uniquely accessible accessible arrangement of maps in slices, or 'gores' each covering approximately one-fifth of the sky, and its inclusion of stars visble to the naked-eye.Ian Ridpath is the editor of the Oxford Dictionary of Astronomy and Norton's Star Atlas, as well as an astronomy writer and presenter in the United Kingdom. He received the Klumpke�oberts Award from the Astronomical Society of the Pacific for outstanding contributions to public understanding and appreciation of astronomy.
