"This book surveys what is visible on the sun, before describing how to record solar features and measure solar activity levels. There is also an account of how to use H-alpha and Calcium-K filters to observe and record prominences and other features of the solar chromosphere, the Sun's inner atmosphere. The second edition includes an update of Chapter 2 to reflect advances in solar observing equipment since 2002, and a section on building a solar projection box, originally included in the main body of this chapter has been moved to Appendix A. Also Chapter 6 thru 8 have been completely revised to give amateur astronomers advice on how to use film to photograph the Sun, and how to use digital cameras. This new edition also includes more than twice as many illustrations as the first and almost half of them new images."

"The first part of Mars and how to observe It sets out our current knowledge of Mars as a planet. Its orbit, physical characteristics, evolution over time, and current geology. A planet-wide tour of Mars's topography is featured, along with clearly labeled maps and close-up images of a variety of features. The second part of the book explains how amateur and practical astronomers can observe Mars successfully. Many aspects are considered in depth, including preparing to observe, calculating phase and tilt, and making observational sketches and drawings. There are also plenty of details about how best to make high-resolution CCD images. "

"Planetary nebulae and how to observe them is for amateur astronomers who want to go beyond the Messier objects, concentrating on one of the most beautiful classes of astronomical objects in the sky.

Planetary nebulae are not visible to the naked eye, but they are a fascinating group of telescope objects. This guide enables a user equipped with an average-sized amateur telescope to get the best out of observing them. Topics covered include their astrophysical make-up, history of their discovery, classification and description, telescopes to use, filters, and observing techniques - in short everything anyone would need to know to successfully observe planetary nebulae.

The book describes the various forms these astronomical objects can take and explains why they are favorite targets for amateur observers. Descriptions of over 100 nebulae personally observed by the author using telescopes of various sizes are included in the book. Readers can create their own observing program or follow the list of these captivating objects, many of which are found within our own Milky Way Galaxy."

"This book describes how to recognize, observe, and image satellites. Examples of recent images and how they were made are given. It also offers up-to-date descriptions of the many satellites that are orbiting the earth and other celestial bodies. Readers can learn how satellites impact our day-to-day lives. In short, Artificial satellites and how to observe them is a detailed and up-to-date overview of artificial satellites and how to study them in the night sky."

"Using common drugs without proper knowledge can be dangerous, as herbs and vitamins contain ingredients that may interact with common drugs. Also, questions such as “Can medicines be shared among family members?”, “Can antibiotics be kept for the next infection?”, “What is the best time to take medicine?”, “What is actually meant by ‘before’ and ‘after’ food?”, “Can drugs be taken with herbal medications?”, “Can tablets be taken with hot water or coffee?”, “What is the maximum dose of paracetamol per day?” and “Will paracetamol interact with durian or alcohol?” may seem trivial but are important. Written in an easily understood Q&A format, TIPS ON USING COMMON MEDICINES SAFELY provides information on how to maximise the use of common medicines while minimising the impact of their side effects. It also gives concise information on how to avoid harmful interactions with other drugs, food, herbs and vitamins."
