The Compendium of Practical Astronomy is unique. The practical astronomer, whether student, novice or accomplished amateur, will find this handbook the most comprehensive, up-to-date and detailed single guide to the subject available. It is based on Roth's celebrated German language handbook for amateur astronomers, which first appeared over 40 years ago.
Günter D. Roth, von Haus aus Diplomkaufmann, hat über Jahre als Geschäftsführer die astronomische Zeitschrift Sterne und Weltraum, deren Mitherausgeber er noch immer ist, geleitet. Selbst aktiver Beobachter, hat er Bestseller für Sternfreunde geschrieben. Günter D. Roth ist Ehrenmitglied der Vereinigung der Sternfreunde (VdS) e. V.
