How to Identify the Night Sky is divided into easy-to-follow sections. Once you can navigate your way around you can then identify what is visible in the sky on any given night during the year.
There are sections on how to observe and understand the objects that comprise the night sky, the moon, the movements of the stars and planets throughout the year and astronomical events and other phenomena, including meteors, comets, aurorae and deep-sky objects.
The constellations are given a comprehensive treatment. For each one there is a chart, a photograph, a description of its features and history, the best dates and times of visibility, and a list of interesting objects. This is the only guide to the night sky you will need.

How to identify night sky
Starts promising. Then gets bogged down a bit as it explains the physics of neutron stars, but the historical background is interesting through.
There is some good storytelling here. Almost as if the author would rather be publishing fiction and has found a way to insert some of that passion in the book.
Ultimately when he gets to black holes, the book gets infinitely more interesting and stays that way until the final pages when he begins asserting that humans are intrigued by black holes for sexual reasons.
Glad I finally read it from cover to cover. The stores of Chandrasekhar and Hawking and even Uhura (that satellite, not the Star Trek character) are fascinating and fun.
A book I would recommend to others if they have interest in the subject.
