My fresh off the press book, Beyond the Solar System: Exploring Galaxies, Black Holes, Alien Planets, and More is reviewed in the July 1st issue of Booklist.
Booklist *Review*: They call it "a fast-paced, but worthwhile, tour of the history of astronomy," comment that "Carson shows unusual finesse in communicating the methods and significance of scientific breakthroughs," note "the explanations are remarkably clear, vivid, and concise" and say "Notable for its unusually clear explanations of complex topics, this volume is a worthy companion to Carson’s excellent Exploring the Solar System (2006)."
