"This is a great book for the layman who is interested in astronomy" according to Amazon Customer. This is a great book for the layman who is interested in astronomy and astrophysics. It helps if the reader is somewhat knowledgeable in the subject. The book is well organized, and follows logically from one subject to the other.. T Padasak said Knowledge Bucket. One of my favorites. NDT manages to drop a knowledge bucket on his readers, while keeping it easy to read. Well done sir.. A+ I would like to meet Neil. Leib Lurie Outstanding. Layman can read tons about astrophysics and actually understand it. Very enjoyable reading. A page turner for me and I was able to explain lots of notions to my wife.
