Book excerpt: In this insightful work on astronomy, the writer attempts to explain how much of the fundamentals of Astronomy can be obtained with the coarsest observation with the naked eye, and that the instrumental images derived from a standard globe are sufficient for understanding the instruments in an Observatory. His main aim is to impress upon the student of Astronomy that nothing is entirely beyond his reach.
