Thurough Resource Guide

Not only is the book a practical dictionary of astronomy and phyisics, it also has several major essays on pulsars, super clusters, interstellar matter, and so on. Very interesting and thought-provoking data. I only wish I could find a newer edition; it was published in 1987.
