Keeping Starwatch

The wonder and science of astronomy meld with the life and thoughts of a working mother in this contemplative and delightful collection of essays. Begin with any themed chapter and journey through the year with Starwatch tales. These essays will add joy and depth to your perspectives on time, travel, relationships, work, parenting, volunteering, and the natural world. See the skies over Florida, South Dakota, California, Illinois, Minnesota, and Iowa as you read the stories, past and present, of peoples of these lands. Twelve aYou Look Upa sections show you how to directly experience the night sky. Just bring a simple sky map outside, such as the ones found in Astronomy and Sky and Telescope magazines.
