practical naked eye astronomy

I bought this book not long after it came out, advertised in SCIENCE NEWS. What a treasure it turned out to be! Without ever owning a telescope--or needing to--I learned to identify the 21 brightest stars, which led me to many major constellations. A cool piece of information that I have often used is how to find Polaris when the Big Dipper is under the horizon, using Cassiopeia.
