Astronomy Projects for Young Scientists

Unquestionably one of the best books I've ever seen on this subject. Not only for "young scientists" but ANY adult, as well, who is just getting into the hobby or wants to advance from a beginner level.What I especially like about this book is that it teaches you how to MAKE stuff! This is a rare "hands-on" type of book.Chapters: Building a Theodolite, Sundials, The Analemma, Telescope-Making, The Optical Telescope, Radio Telescopes, The Construction and Use of a Spectroscope, Building a Planetarium, Model Construction, Observing the Sun, Observing the Moon, Observing the Planets, Measuring the Earth's Circumference, Comets and Meteors, Tiny Particles, Variable Stars, The Timing of Occultations, Star-Guaging the Milky Way, Blinking, Astrophotography, Contests and Competitions.Highly recommended for young scientists, every adult with an interest in astronomy, anybody who treasures a great home science library, and especially FOREIGN STUDENTS [ESL/EFL] who will be coming to the USA/UK/CANADA and entering a science program or as a science major at the college or university level.
