Book 132: The Cosmic Perspective

This is the best text book I've ever read. I haven't read a lot of text books, but this is the best. It was insightful, witty, funny, and had a lot of fun fact. Without it I wouldn't be nearly as awesome as I am, true story. It also introduced me to the love of my life, Tycho Brahe, A Danish Astronomer who has his nose cut off in a duel over who was a better mathematician, had a pet moose who got drunk, fell down the stairs and died, screwed over Kepler, and died because his bladder got infected after it ruptured during a dinner with the King. What more do you want. It also alerted me to how awesome Kant is with his Nebular theory.

I love space and astronomy, it's always interested me. This text book presented the information in an interesting and accessible manner. The writing was top notch. I give it 10 protostars out of 10. If you ever have it assigned for a class, read it.
