New Year, New Books!
Begin 2008 with a bang by taking a look at the lavish pictures and illustrations contained in one of our newest books, Universe: The definitive visual guide, (AOVSZ QB982 .U55 2005).According to Booklist this volume "should be of interest to anyone who appreciates the wonders of the universe and would enjoy a beautifully illustrated guided tour by experts."
