We have one of the widest ranges of astronomy books on our shelves at the Green Witch showroom and can offer advice on which to choose for beginners of all ages. If you are looking for advanced books on astrophotography, building your own telescope or even optical design we can also help.
Besides the ones we stock we have access to most books that are currently in print so can obtain almost any book for you to special order.
If you have children and want to introduce them to science or stimulate their interest then why not try the excellent Uncle Albert Books by Russell Stannard? They are easy-to-read fun stories but they cover some of the most profound scientific concepts. Each book is self-contained. Follow the link for more details.
For a complete overview of astronomy, why not try Space Files? This is a three-volume set of DVDs covering the Universe, the Solar System and Space Exploration. It replaces the popular and highly-successful 'Complete Cosmos' DVDs with fully up-to-date material.
Superb film, excellent graphics and an informative sound-track combine to make the DVDs suitable for all. Available either as individual volumes or as an attractively-boxed set of all three, you can order the DVDs on-line from our catalogue.
The CD-ROMs we stock include Sky Map Pro, which came top in a Sky and Telescope review of mapping programmes. The programme was written by Chris Marriott and is a fine example of a British product that leads the world. The latest version is available either from our showroom or from our On-line Catalogue.
