First, full disclosure: I am the lesser half of the author of this book so be forewarned.
Ellen Jackson has just had a new book released that "stars" (little play on words there, I suppose) Dr. Alex Fillippenko, one of the leading astronomers now working on black holes, dark matter, dark energy and the like. You can read reviews of the book here.
The book is part of a "Scientists in the Field" series that is intended to get young people interested in the pursuing science as a career. While the book is intended for young audiences, I think it is a good introduction to the subject for all age groups. To make sure it is scienfically accurate, Ellen had it reviewed by a number of astronomers including our own Bad Astronomer.
Ellen is making a special introductory offer on the book through an Interview with the Universe. I think it's quite clever...take a look.
And enjoy the book.
