The night sky is a clock that turns with the seasons. Serviss walks the reader through the evening heavens at each solstice and equinox, then tours the planets, teaching the constellations as they wheel through the year. A friendly, seasonal guide to stargazing. Step outside on any night and know exactly what you are seeing.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
