I am thrilled to update that the Astronomy Manual, published by Haynes in October 2010, went to a First Reprint in January 2011 and a Second reprint in April 2011. As always, an enormous thank you must go to all those who enabled a dream to come true: Keith Cooper, Dr Stuart Clark, Mark Hughes, Dr Brian May, Sir Patrick Moore CBE FRS, Derek Smith, Nik Szymanek, to name but a few.
The book is now listed at No6 on 'The Definitive Astronomer's Book Collection for 2011' by Martin Peston on Amazon.co.uk.
Reviews:
'Whether you are a complete novice or an experienced astronomer, you will benefit from reading and owning Jane Green's book. It deserves an honoured place in every scientific library.' Sir Patrick Moore, CBE FRS
'Jane Green has, in this luxurious Astronomy Manual, taken up the challenge of doing for a new generation what Patrick, now Sir Patrick, did for us all those years ago.' Dr Brian May
'This is highly recommended reading indeed.' Paul Money, BBC Sky at Night
'Packed and passionate ... this book was written not just with instruction and care, but with love.' Alice Sheppard, Astronomy Now
