A View of the Universe

Summary: the paperback edition is just postcards
Review: Actually it does say postcards above but I didn't notice when I bought it. Considering the price probably it couldn't have been anything else but just thought I'd point it out in case anyone else was going to miss it. Nice postcards of course, but only postcards.

Summary: The Astrophotography is simply amazing!
Review: The photos in this book are positively stunning! This book is great for the price, and it might help to pique your curiosity about the universe. I would recommend it for the novice astronomer or astrophotographer, as it will give you a goal to strive for! (However, I am sure that seasoned veterans will enjoy it as well.)

Summary: Fascinating
Review: This easy to read and understand book includes spectacular photographs and explanations of celestial sights and events. I flipped through it at Borders and bought it mainly for the pictures but it makes for good reading also. Malin takes you on a journey around the galaxy and to places further out, places like the galaxy M-83, which can be described in one word: incredible. He doesn't dazzle you with confusing technical terms. You almost feel like you're out on a clear, moonless, very dark night with a buddy who has a great telescope.
