One more for the science section. Highly informational and engaging, with plenty for readers to explore and interact with and that's not including the interactive DVD.

I loved this book. The best astronomy guide I've read to date. And, there's a fantastic website that supplements the print edition with new material. I highly recommend the 3rd edition and plan to add it to my permanent collection of astronomy reference books.
