Thirty-sixth in a series paying homage to some of our favorite books. This one is for Astronomy: A Visual Guide, by Mark A Garlick. More importantly, this cache is in honor of Texas Libra's "Oldest Kid" and Mr.Bubbles! Why you ask? A pretty new ring is involved...
From Booklist:
Astronomy is custom designed to inspire stargazing. Twenty-four sky maps are offered for just such an eventuality. Otherwise, astrophysicist Garlick organizes the universe in a conventional but still beautiful manner, proceeding from the solar system outward to the multibillion-light-year depths probed by the Hubble Space Telescope. Its images are not the only space-age source Garlick taps: pictures from less celebrated observatories also populate the presentations of planets, stars, galaxies, and quasars. More than a glossy gallery, the celestial objects Garlick features are embedded within his framing explanations of the electromagnetic spectrum and big-bang cosmology.
Congrats guys! Yeah for Geo-Romance! :)
If anyone is interested in reading another great book about space, check out Mary Roach's "Packing for Mars."
**There is a piece of swag that is wrapped in Christmas paper inside the cache...it is for "Oldest Kid" and Mr.Bubbles! If you are not them, please leave it. Thanks!**
p.s. As always if you have a book suggestion, let us have it...we may even put a cache out there for you!
