The author's book Astronomical Algorithms is all about the precise steps you take to perform certain calculations in astronomy that are rather common with little explanation on how the results were formulated. This book takes a more conversational approach than that book, since the events being described are rare. It might be retitled "Odd occurrences in Astronomy and the Mathematics Behind Them". Don't get me wrong, there are precise algorithmic steps given here, there is just more conversation along the way. You can tell that the author has a real love of his subject matter. If you are interested in observational astronomy, this book is for you. Its extensive listing and description of the rarest alignments, conjuctions, occulations, eclipses, transits, etc., are embodied under one cover. Written with clarity that grade 10 or higher can easily understand. A must have library addition!
