I subscribe to Bob Carroll's "Skeptic's Dictionary Newsletter" which today had its first issue.
In the "What We're Reading" section, it has a paragraph on the new Bad Astronomy book.
...the parts I am finding most interesting are the parts dealing with good astronomy: explanations of the tides, why moons face one way as they orbit their planets, and many other things we should have learned in school but probably didn't. The book is currently listing for under $12 at Amazon.com but would be a bargain at any price.
Just felt like sharing.
