Usually I do
not recommend many astronomy books to readers because there is controversy from both scientists and religious leaders.
I still will bet very few scientists deny the existence of a supreme being. Religion is interpreting and commands
faith. There are publications that come along occasionally that are readable and do not interfere with one’s belief.
An astrophysicist writes the book I
am recommending “Beyond UFOS” by Jeffery Bennett. The book is new to our local Yucca Valley library.
Why
I tout, this book is because the author is an astrophysicist author, and educator.
He writes with
a straightforward manner in nonprofessional’s language. This book is not a sci-fi novel, though the title sounds
that way. He describes our Solar system from the Sun to the outer planets and shows why we are living on a privileged planet - if you attended our March club meeting
you would have
a taste of the importance of knowing how our planets, stars and deep sky objects came into being. Jeffery Bennett conveniences
me we
are not alone in this vast universe.
