Organized by month, The Stargazer's Guide takes you through the night sky's stories-mythological, historical, and scientific-offering simple diagrams that enable you to easily identify the constellations. Let expert stargazer Emily Winterburn enthrall you with true stories of romantic and scientific endeavors, and mythic tales of beasts and battles that led to the naming of the stars.
