Universe Exploring the Astronomical World Phaidon Editors David Malin Paul Murdin 9780714874616 Books Reviews
- This is an outstanding book. My wife bought it for me after I saw it reviewed in Sky and Telescope. I enjoyed the art and photograph reproductions and the way the editors matched the various pages. This provides wide ranging examples of art and study of the skies from prehistoric times until the present. This book is a great resource and very fun to look thru. I only had two minor complaints. One is the binding quality. My wife teaches art history and Phaidon being an art publisher often provides bindings that dont stand up to repeated use, I am afraid this might be another example, hopefully I am wrong. The other items are the captions or write-ups associated with each photograph, they are pitched at the level of what you will see in a museum exhibit. I would have enjoyed more details or references
All in all those complaints I have are minor and this is a wonderful book, I have enjoyed it and highly recommend it. - Marvelous book full of great illustrations and engrossing accounts of the evolution of the universe. Great for teenagers and adults.
- Beautiful photos and great writing. This is a great coffee table book or the perfect gift for someone interested in the stars!
- This is a BEAUTIFULLY done book! The photos are stunning!
- I bought this for my husband for his birthday. He is a space fanatic - this book passed the test. Glorious photos of our universe....
- Great pictures, Nice to have on a table to look at once or twice.
- Excellent!
- Simply beautiful. Makes you feel tiny in a vast universe of awesomeness.
