    A masterpiece


    By Nils K. - Jan. 07, 2021 10:02


    Regarding the previous review, I can only say: One should be able to recognize a popular science work as such. Not everyone is a trained astronomer, and that's not the point.

    This book is particularly appealing because I find Mr. Lorenzen's vivid and informative descriptions very enjoyable. As a geographer, I don't condemn a country report simply because it isn't a precise spatial planning treatise. The author presents the spatial and temporal processes of the universe, which are often difficult for non-physicists to grasp, in a clear and engaging style. Combined with the magnificent photographs and high-quality printing, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in the universe, even as a layperson!


    Great photographs, high-quality printing, and annoying accompanying text.

    The pictures are magnificent, the print edition very high quality. I find Mr. Lorenzen's accompanying text irritating in several respects. His biography already explains why (Deutschlandfunk!). The awkward naming conventions of "astronomers" and "astronomesses" are used to perpetuate the text, ensuring that even the most oblivious reader understands that women also look through telescopes. Then there's the writing style, which never deviates from the orbit of a children's television program. Stars drift apart "so

    Descriptions such as "how classes lose sight of each other after the end of their school days" demonstrate that the author is committed to the project of societal infantilization.

    It feels good. The fact that too many pages contain small print in white letters on a black background makes reading tiring.
