grab you and keep you interested in reading and learning more
about the books topics?
It is her writing style which keeps your curiosity alive. She has incorporated Mythology,
folklore, history, astronomy, story-telling, culture and poetry. The chapters are managed
beautifully and engagingly to bring these heavenly bodies as close as one's own backyard. The
chapters are organized by planets and they include discussions on history, mythology, geology,
and the scientific community that has discovered and explored the planets and their neighboring
objects. Her prose is lyrical and her passion for science and space apparent. The book is written
in view to the non-science major and she manages this well, if not flawlessly.
Does this book change the way you look at something or some
process in the world? If so, how? Does this book have the potential
to fight against dangerous amnesia, fantasia, inertia, or nostalgia
about an educational topic?
I think based on the books contents; this book does address these issues. The book is written for
general purpose knowledge about the planets. It does not address a specific curriculum for school
or college courses. The book is not written is scientific terminology. Rather, it is written in the
concept of short stories and life experiences of planets.
