An old dream became reality when our
series of three astronomy books for beginners were published, in the years 2006-2009. They are:
-
Genieten van de sterrenhemel (Enjoying the Night Sky, the introduction) - 65 pages, ca. 100 pictures and over 90 illustrations
-
Genieten van het zonnestelsel (Enjoying the Solar System) - 97 pages, ca. 150 pictures and over 60 illustrations
-
Genieten van het heelal (Enjoying the Universe, about stars, the Milky Way and other galaxies; also about electromagnetic radiation and matter) - 65 pages, ca. 125 pictures and over 50 illustrations
The books are written in a style well suited for young and old and are filled with a few hundred colourful illustrations and nearly 400 pictures. Text, illustrations and lay-out are by Rob Walrecht, based on his more than thirty years of experience with astronomy education.
