The night sky becomes familiar territory in this four-season guide to the stars and constellations visible from mid-northern latitudes. After depicting how the "celestial sphere" is organized, Patterns in the Sky takes you on a sightseeing tour of the constellations. Patterns in the Sky emphasizes what anyone can see from a typical suburban backyard and concentrates on just-for-fun, naked-eye stargazing - no optical aid required.

I like almost any constellation guide. What impressed me about Patterns in the Sky was how my middle school and high school kids picked this up and stayed with the book.
Yes, I recommend this product!
