Paperback edition of "Cosmic Adventure: A Renegade ..."

FYI: This is the paperback edition of "Cosmic Adventure: Other Secrets Beyond the Night Sky" previously issued in hardcover.

So-So Writer

I loved his first book (and I think I loved this one) but Berman's writing style often got in the way of this one... His attempts at humor and flowery writing just got out of hand here... Read the book, it's otherwise quite good, and see if you don't agree.

Great Writer

With this book, Bob Berman proves once again what an exquisite writer he is. He is funny, concise and profound. Bob has the extraordinary ability to make even the most difficult concepts in astronomy easy to understand and fun,too! His talent is drawing the layperson (such as myself) into this amazing universe and showing how humans while understanding the most difficult concepts are able to apply them to everyday life. His love of science, life and his hilarious sense of humor are apparent from beginning to end. I strongly recommend this book and his other one "Secrets of the Night Sky". Bravo.
