Three Springer Authors

I have been a member of Loughton Astronomical Society (LAS) for almost twenty years. The level of expertise at the society range from the beginner to the serious observer. The society is unique as it happens to have not one, not two but three authors all who have published with Springer.

Jack Martin is author of "A Spectroscopic Atlas of Bright Stars: A Pocket Field Guide (Astronomer's  Pocket Field Guide)", a unique reference to some of the brightest stars in the sky. It is suitable for astronomers and students at all levels interested in the facinating subject of Spectroscopy. More details can be found here.


Steve Ringwood is author of "Astronomers Anonymous" which in my opinion is probably the most funniest (and very true!) account of the antics and misadventures of amateur astronomers today and throughout the ages. More details can be found here.

 





Jack and myself also contributed to another Springer publication, "Practical Amateur Spectroscopy" which describes some of the latest methods in spectroscopy available for amateur astronomers. More details can be found here.





 
 

All three of us will be at Astrofest UK this year (Kensington Town Hall, Fri 4th and Sat 5th February) where we will be promoting and signing our books somewhere in the vicinity of the Springer stand on the third floor.
Hope to see you there!
