Maps are paired with lucid explanations of a constellation's most interesting features. Astronomy experts Patrick Moore and Wil Tirion provide a comprehensive but succinct pocket guide that can be used at any time from any place on Earth, charting astronomical phenomena through 2003.

Review
Conciseness, clarity, and comprehensiveness--these are the qualities that make for a good star guide. The Cambridge Guide contains charts of all 88 night-sky constellations, shows all the stars visible to the naked eye, provides a brief overview of astronomy, and is small enough to slip into your coat pocket for a night ramble or into your luggage for a weekend in the country. Written with amateurs in mind, the history outline and astronomy glossary are nice pluses for the student of astronomy who's looking for more than how to find the Little Dipper.
