StarGeezer!: A Life's Journey Through the Telescope

"Amateur astronomer non-extraordinaire" is what John Verderame calls himself in this memoir, which traces how astronomy and space have been intertwined with events in John's life since the 1950s. In this book he presents some of his adventures and how a love of anything and everything celestial has influenced him, along with some challenging, thought-provoking discussions about topics such as the existence of aliens, disappearance of the dinosaurs, God and astronomy, cosmic evolution, etc., and ties in many scientific, historical, cultural and other facts in a sometimes humorous, sometimes serious, but always engaging voyage through starlight memories.
