Reviews

'An ingenious basic course in astronomy' * Die Welt * Delightful ... an excellent diversion for people of all levels of astronomical knowledge * BBC Sky at Night Magazine * Our cosmic narrative is told in a very different, inventive manner by the Austrian writer and astronomer Florian Freistetter, who examines it through the device of providing short portraits of his hundred favourite stars. It's the classic trick of focusing on the particular to tell a wider story, and here it is done beautifully * Times Literary Supplement *
