This book is one in a series called Visual Guides, produced by the Australian company Weldon Owen PTY Ltd and published by Reader’s Digest in the UK and France, by Pan MacMillan in Australia, and by Firefly in the US. The series is billed as “a new generation of reference books. In more than 300 dynamic pages, these guides to popular subjects provide up-to-the minute information in a style that will enthrall, entice and entertain readers of all ages. With maximum visual impact and editorial clarity, information is presented through a vibrant combination of photography, illustrations and accessible text.” As well as writing the astronomy book in this series, I also contributed a large number of illustrations, some done especially for this book. Astronomy: A Visual Guide has been published in many languages and is now available in softback. Other titles in the Visual Guides series include Rocks & Fossils, Oceans and Weather.
