This is probably the best handbook for the beginning astronomer.--Drew Monkman"The Examiner (Peterborough)" (12/11/2007)

NightWatch remains the best single source on sky watching and astronomy equipment for the backyard enthusiast.--Randy Groundwater"Windsor Star" (12/10/2006)
[Review-of-previous-edition: ] A great all-round astronomy guide.--Glenn Chaple"Astronomy" (12/01/2002)
[Review-of-previous-edition: ] [Nightwatch was] a clear, concise manual for backyard stargazing that also managed to convey the excitement of astronomy. This fantastically revised edition continues that tradition, but now includes sky maps for observers in the southern hemisphere and a guide to celestial phenomena up to 2018. The best introduction around.-- (01/20/2007)
Renowned author and astronomer Terence Dickinson took Grade 5 and 6 students from the [North Bay] area through the universe to make snowballs from water and ice particles that make up Saturn's rings, and visit the red liquid methane lakes of its moon, Titan.... "I'm hoping that they'll walk away with excitement about the universe," he said." It's a subject that young people are not discarding. They're living with it. They're interested in it. And they know a lot."-- (09/11/2008)
Aspiring stargazers will find everything that they need to unlock the secrets of the night sky in this newly updated edition. Public and school libraries will certainly want to update their collections with this book.-- (06/01/2007)
General interest introduction to astronomy now in its fourth edition... bends the mind with information.-- (01/14/2007)
