Based on the author's detailed stargazing notes, compiled over a ten year period, and told through his personal connection with twelve constellations, A decade in stargazing contains a host of astronomical observations and impressions of a variety of objects, as well as insights and leaps of the imagination through time and space.
With details of the author's experiences whilst out stargazing - funny, moving, and even 'hold your breath scary' - alongside autobiographical asides and anecdotes, A decade in stargazing. part night sky guide, part deeply personal memoir, is an entertaining and informative look at one decade in stargazing ... Oh, and there's an important life lesson involving a bear ...
A decade in stargazing is a whirlwind tour through twelve constellations and a myriad of wonderful objects adorning each one, I expected the typical textbook like descriptions of constellations and objects within, but what I got instead was a refreshing and personal tour. Throughout this book I felt as though I was not so much taking in information but was sharing in his experiences, waiting for the next constellation and what lies within. It's times like this where I wish I was a more talented book reviewer, it's difficult to explain why exactly I felt a connection to this book, Kevin not only describes the objects within these constellations but he lets us in on what makes them special, why they fascinate him, how many times he has tried and failed to see one before finally seeing it, and we share in the excitement when he finally saw what was so elusive ...
