Fantastic book with great pictures and very informative text on the history of Hubble and its role in science. I've given 4 stars because I personally wish it had more of Hubble pictures. That aside, the pictures it does have are beautiful and the information it gives about Hubble makes it well worth it.
What I don't appreciate in a book this size is a dozen artist impressions when there are millions of real Hubble images. Lots of history, news coverage and biography, and only grade school science. Its like a very large National Geographic magazine special, which is exactly what it is, I guess.
I gave this to my nephew for Christmas. He's at an age where he's too cool to think anything is cool, so it's hard to tell what he thought of it. I thought it was great; lots of pictures, well written. I only wish it had more (or better) wide-view shots of the deep field. I was hoping for something that would really give you an idea of how small our galaxy is out there with everything else (we had a Hubble deep field poster in one of my college astronomy classes that did just that, and it was awesome).
This is the best book that I have read, well in the last 13.7 billion years. This should be a mandatory textbook for all high schools. Think of the ignorance that we could stamp out if that were the case.
Fantastic book! Another great book for Hummingbird Ranch Vacation House (Rentals) in SE Arizona!Our extra dark skies attracts many star gazers from all over! This book is great!!!
Fabulous pictures and interesting informative text. This book made wonderful gifts to many friends until started raising the price, apparently due to my purchases.
An absolutely beautiful book of the pictures taken by the Hubble telescope.One of the best books I've purchased in years.Really enjoyed it.
This was a very thoughtful gift from my husband. Gorgeous book, great reading and of course, spectacular photos.
