The Compendium of Practical Astronomy is unique. The practical astronomer, whether student, novice or accomplished amateur, will find this handbook the most comprehensive, up-to-date and detailed single guide to the subject available. It is based on Roth’s celebrated German language handbook for amateur astronomers, which first appeared over 40 years ago.
From the reviews: “This is a comprehensive work on practical astronomy. Excellent illustrations (127 in color) and a list ‘for further reading’ with every chapter enhance this reference (available in print and online) that is valuable for amateur astronomers, students, and teachers. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Libraries serving lower-division undergraduates, faculty, and general readers.” (M.-K. Hemenway, Choice, Vol. 47 (6), February, 2010)
