In Small Astronomical Observatories, Patrick Moore has collected descriptions of amateur and small professional observatories currently in use in Europe and America, showing how many astronomers have built their own observatory, often with effective and sometimes extraordinary improvisations to reduce the cost. There is a photograph of each, along with details of its construction and a foreword written by Patrick Moore. In addition to providing a fascinating study for its own sake, SmallAstronomical Observatoriesoffers a unique fund of ideas and practical details for anyone who wants to build an amateur or small professional observatory.

Gripping!!

In this book, Garret moves away from his home in Rainbow to Los Angeles after his mother dies. His father left them a few years back and after his mother died, his father invites Garret to live with him. He then finds out some things about his father and he is faced with the decision to find out more about his father and learn to love him for who he is or to betray his father when he just started getting to know him better. Which path will Garret take? It is a great book and I highly reccommend it.
