Ferris invites all readers to become stargazers and recounts his own experiences
as an enthralled lifelong amateur astronomer, and reports from around the world
-- from England and Italy to the Florida Keys and the Chilean Andes -- on the
revolution that's putting millions in touch with the night sky. Appendix includes
star charts, observing lists, and a guide on how to get involved with the stars.
