Reviews

Photos taken through the telescopes show an eternally eventful universe: the birth, death and colorful silence of stars; the Horsehead Nebula swathed in crimson; sleek Saturn, stormy Jupiter and their moons. While astronomers will be stirred by the observatories, the shots of open mountain and sky, with West's lyrical descriptions, will fill any reader with wonder and joy.-- Honolulu Star-Advertiser
