Book Description
Written in a folksy, down-to-earth style, this user-friendly guide to the night sky is designed for beginner and intermediate stargazers ages twelve and up. It begins with chapters explaining the stars, nebulae, star clusters, and galaxies—and what readers can expect to see from their own backyards with a modicum of equipment. Utah StarWatch then examines the major constellations, offering updated tales of the mythology surrounding them and detailing their seasonal movements in the sky. Later chapters delve into the moon, solar and lunar eclipses, planets, and "celestial extras," such as comets, meteor showers, and aurora borealis. The final chapter provides advice on purchasing a telescope and other stargazing equipment. Appendices include monthly star maps for Utah’s northern latitude, a local resource guide, and a list of Utah’s brightest stars.

Book Description
"In End of Watch Robert Kirby seeks to honor the memories of the fallen by telling their stories. Culled primarily from news reports - standardized police reporting being a relatively recent invention - Kirby brings to light the circumstances surrounding the deaths of each of the officers who paid the ultimate price in their efforts to keep the peace. Young and old, sons and fathers, brothers and husbands, each story resonates with bitter lessons about lack of training, procedural errors, and often just the bad luck of being in the wrong place at the wrong time."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
