How to Slow Down and Own the Day.

Ever wondered how to pronounce the names of those constellations ?  The answer lies in this great little book, "Guide to the Stars" by Hector Macpherson .  As the book was written and printed in the 1940's it has no flashy digital AI generated content, no URL links, no glossy colour photos, just simple plain text, interspersed with line drawing illustrations. If part of your day is filled with learning the pronunciations of the constellations, it has been  worthwhile. This book is a perfect antidote to the modern speed crazy world most of us inhabit. To seek the night sky via telescope or book, or in this case with pronounciation, astronomy is a  perfect way to "Slow down and own the day".
