The telescope and the world of astronomy Marvin F. Reimer
A STRONOMY, in common with most sciences, encom-passes a vast and constantly increasing body of information. It is very likely that no one student can hope to master all, or even a large part, of this complex science with its deep-rooted bases in physies and mathematics. Indeed, as astronomical knowledge becomes more and more specialized, we find that the astrophysicist, for instance, may speak and think along very different lines from the radio-astronomer. The enthusiastic amateur, with a brand-new telescope, who wants to explore the mysteries of the sky without prolonged study and with a minimum of delay, may profitably use the Work Program For Beginners included in the Appendix of the book (pages 161-162).
