Willmann-Bell, Inc. is privileged to bring to press the stunning "Next Edition" of the world-famous Uranometria 2000.0. The most comprehensive stellar/deep sky atlas and data resource we have seen, the three volumes of Uranometria 2000.0 are so much more than a "Second Edition," they can only be considered the fulfillment of that process to which the first edition was but prologue. Years in development, this massive achievement affords astronomers, astrophotographersand CCD imagers the finest roadmap to the heavens yet produced at such a modest price . More than 280,000 stars and over 30,000 deep sky non-stellar objects are located with a degree of accuracy heretofore unavailable in one resource. Encyclopedic in nature, with beautifully redrawn maps, a host of efficient navigation tools, and more accurate catalog data for three times the number of deep sky objects shown in the preceding work, Uranometria 2000.0 is clearly an atlas and guide every telescope user, whatever their aperture, will want to own.

Handbook of Star Forming Regions ~ Vol.1, The Northern Sky
by Bo Reipurth

Preface
The seeds for this Handbook were planted almost twenty years ago, when I was
organizing the ESO Workshop Low Mass Star Formation and Pre-Main Sequence Objects.
The workshop was, among other things, meant to highlight the many opportunities
ESO was then opening up for studies of the southern sky. To inspire new research
in the southern hemisphere, I arranged a special poster session where each of the major,
southern star forming regions was presented. This unusual poster session attracted
some attention, and it was decided to publish these posters in expanded versions, and
this became the ESO Scientific Report No. 11 Low Mass Star Formation in Southern
Molecular Clouds, which appeared in 1991. Informally known as “the Blue Book”, it
was widely used until it eventually became outdated.
Since then, I have from time to time been asked whether I was planning to do a
new version of this book, but I never felt sufficient motivation to embark on such a
large and time-consuming endeavor. However, a few years ago I started to prepare for
the VYSOS (Variable Young Stellar Object Survey) project, which involves monitoring
all the most important star forming regions with small telescopes to explore the timedomain
for young stars. While working on the science program, I became increasingly
aware of just how staggering is the amount of observational studies that exist on many
individual star forming regions. I realized that a Handbook that would bring some
organization to this chaotic wealth of information could be very useful for the star
formation community, and so began the present Handbook.
Three years later it is somewhat sobering to look back and compare the vision then
with the reality today. I started out thinking that it should be possible to set up a panel
of experts on selected regions and distill the literature into fairly uniform discussions of
what we have come to know about each individual region. For many reasons this is not
possible, the main ones being that regions are inherently too different, some regions and
objects have for historical reasons been the focus of specific techniques, and, not least,
authors have different interests and approaches to such a task. I also started out with
a modest vision of a single volume of perhaps 500 pages which could be completed
in less than a year. It is probably a good thing that I did not have the imagination to
foresee that the Handbook would end up with almost two thousand pages divided into
two volumes, because I might have shied away from the task.
As is indicated by the title, the Handbook aims to be a source of comprehensive
factual information about each region, with very extensive references to the literature.
It has from the outset been a desire that the reader should be able to follow the development
of our understanding of a given region, and hence many of the earliest studies
are, if not discussed, then at least mentioned, even if they are only of historical interest......

Introduction:
Can you remember being impressed by a clear starry sky? Look at the Milky Way
through binoculars and it will reveal its many hundreds of thousands of stars, double
stars, stellar clusters, and nebulae. If you are a new observer, it is not that easy to find
your way in this swarm of stars, but this atlas tries to make it as easy as possible. So
now it is not just experienced amateurs that can enjoy looking at the heavens.
Two additional observing aids are recommended. The first is a planisphere, where
one can dial in the time and day in order to see which constellations are visible and
where they are in the sky. The second is an astronomical yearbook listing the current
positions of the planets and all important phenomena.
So, let us begin our journey around the night sky, and see what the universe can......

Summary: A great reference book
Rating: 5
This is the third edition of Zombeck's excellent handbook - and it was long overdue. It is an invaluable resource for students and academics in the field of space science and astrophysics. The layout is clean and information is easy to find. As well as covering all the standard topics one might expect in such a book, there are some interesting extras such as permissible raditation doses. Be warned though, there are relatively few explanations in here so it is not a book for the general public - you really have to know the subject matter.
Summary: A reference for modern Space Scientists
Rating: 5
This book is meant to be like the C.R.C.
Mathematics Tables that many of us have carried since high school.
Starting with fundamentals constants it presents values and equations
necessary for calculations in astronomical science
and ends with information on space delivery systems available at the time of printing.
Every college library connected with an astronomy program should have this reference on it's shelves.

Summary:
The universe beyond our own has been an object of scientific inquiry and a preoccupation of avid stargazers from antiquity up to the present day, and this preoccupation has evolved into a complex field in which mysteries are unlocked and discoveries are made on a constant basis. The Astronomy Encyclopedia covers the full width and breadth of the discipline and includes the latest and most important advances.
In more than 3,000 alphabetically organized articles accompanied by 500 stunning color and black and white photographs, star maps, and diagrams, The Astronomy Encyclopedia covers everything both the researcher and general enthusiast wants to knowfrom adaptive optics and cold dark matter to Islamic astronomy and the principle of equivalence. It includes a host of major articles on the cornerstones of astronomical investigation, such as the Milky Way, the sun and planets, optical and radio telescopes, stars, black holes, astrophysics, observatories, astronomical photography, space programs, the constellations and famous astronomers. Also featured are tables which display relevant data such as the brightest stars in the major constellations, annual meteor showers, major variable stars, dwarf stars, and energy production processes in the sun.
More than 100 astronomers from leading universities and observatories, each an expert in a specialized area of the field, wrote and reviewed the entries to ensure their authority. Patrick Moore, distinguished astronomer and longtime host of the popular BBC television program The Sky at Night, serves as the general editor for this most up-to-date and reliable reference work.
A glimpse into humanity's last great frontier, the Astronomy Encyclopedia is both accessible and comprehensive enough for both the serious stargazer and the professional astronomer.
