Synopsis "Writing in the Dark: An Astronomy Stylebook"
Writing in the Dark is a stylebook for writers in the topic of astronomy. It features orthographical rules for capitalization and adjectival forms of astronomy terms. The book also serves as a primer for astronomy and sky lore, as well as Ancient Greek and the Greek alphabet (both of which are used extensively in astronomy, especially in Western sky lore). Writing in the Dark is as useful as it is entertaining, and it may just be the only stylebook in existence that can be read for pure pleasure! The sections about the planets and the constellations are full of rich backstory and myth from a variety of cultures, including the Mesopotamians, Greeks and Romans. The story of each constellation's origin is told, and each one features exciting or endearing tales that you are sure to remember each time to step out under a starry sky. This book is perfect for professional and amateur astronomers, teachers and students, or anyone who is interested in communicating the awesome field that is astronomy, learning a bit of Ancient Greek, or hearing a few good (and very ancient) stories.
