Started off well but very basic. It's not till you get to the end that the author's real message comes out. A very bad argument for the existence of God. In short it's God what did it so not much point in studying astronomy.

This book is not an astronomy book, either for beginners or otherwise. (It does go through a general set of basics of cosmology and astrophysics which are mostly correct - but there are a few definite errors. Cosmology and astrophysics are fine, but they are not the same thing as astronomy!) I think the author has randomly picked astronomy as a subject for a book, and then proceeded to talk about something she mistakenly thinks is astronomy (but actually isn't). Furthermore, one part of the book quite abruptly becomes a fairly dogmatic (albeit pleasantly phrased) assertion that the universe is all the work of God - the author's god to be exact. An "interlude" chapter on the author's own philosophy may have been okay - but what she has done is not at all acceptable. In a beginners astronomy book you should find information on how to start observing; what are the best starting instruments; where to find the planets; the major constellations; star clusters; observing the moon; the Pleiades; the Andromeda galaxy; etc. etc. Readers will find none of these in this book. It may be well intended, but this is not a beginners astronomy book - or even an astronomy book!

Not Actually An Astronomy Book.
