 A good overview about Supernovae, though its from 1988, 1998-04-19
This book brings a good overview to the reader, how Supernovae brings their information to our planet and how they develop with all the basics of astrophysics an cosmology needed to understand. It was published first in 1988 but a 2. series came out in 1994. So you can't find the newest informations on Supernovae.

 A real star, 2006-12-18
I received this textbook and its partner "An Introduction to Galaxies and Cosmology" as part of the UK Open University's excellent distance-learning course (code S282) on astronomy and cosmology. Both books are among the best texbooks of any kind that I have ever encountered. As an all-too-"mature" student trying to study physical science at home, I found these texts fascinating, engaging, very well-designed, with plenty of questions to test/extend my understanding. "ISS" takes you through every stage in a star's life, from the first cloud of molecules condensing in interstellar space to the white dwarf, neutron star or black hole of its ultimate destiny. You will find out how our own star works, how we know how it works, and the astonishing things we have learned about other stars. If you're studying astronomy and don't know this stuff already, I can't think of a better way to learn it. If you're just curious why the stars shine and where the atoms in your body come from, this book will explain it all, from sunspots to supernovae.

Well written and very clear, 2003-02-09
This is an excellently laid out book. It's clearly written and if you use it on a month by month basis you'll know what to nip outside and look out for in the night sky, while learning something to boot.Combine this with A Walk Through The Heavens, Collins Wild Guide Night Sky, and the Kingfisher Pocket Guide Astronomy and that ought to keep you going for quite a wee while. All of these are fine for use with your own eyes too so you don't need expensive kit to enjoy the view.

This must be one of the most entertaining, intelligent and informative books on popular science I've read in years. Can't really fault it.

Does what it says!, 2008-06-13
This is an excellent little book for those with an interest in astronomy. In 64 pages it packs in all the most useful information on the subject needed to enable one to quickly find and learn their way around the night sky. Its style is clarity without unnecessary verbiage. Remarkable value for the money!
