The music of the spheres
Florence Armstrong Grondal
The stars sing in ancient patterns, and Florence Grondal teaches you to hear them. From the two sky dippers and Draco the dragon to the romance of the constellations, she blends astronomy with the old star myths. Lyrical, informative, and full of night-sky wonder. A guide to reading the heavens as both science and story. Step outside and learn the music of the spheres.
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.
