Industry Reviews "Universe-watching, like golf and aging, promotes humility. Ferris is a retired professor, but of journalism, not astronomy, and his tone is that of the amateurs he celebrates and interviews. That adolescent enthusiasm, well tended since sputnik, reinforces his formidable literary gifts--for metaphor, for narrative and everything between. This is a beautiful book." New York Times Book Review - William R. Everdell (08/25/2002)
