Book Description:

In a characteristically off-beat approach, Patrick Moores Millennium Yearbook celebrateswell, the wrong millennium. Articles on Bodes observations, King Alfreds chronological work, reviews of a new Star Catalogue by Al-Sufi and the latest edition of Ptolemys Almagast complement a review of modern astronomical equipment. This thoroughly entertaining book will almost certainly be the only one to celebrate the coming of the year 1000 A.D.!
