It would be hard to come up with a basic Astronomy question that is not covered in this book.  This is my secret to knowing a lot about astronomy.  Ask for it at events.  I  love the logic of how the questions flow. It is hard to put down.  I may not let anyone take it home.   It is one of my favorite books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>GUIDE TO PREHISTORIC ASTRONOMY IN THE SOUTHWEST <\/strong> by  J. McKim  Malville     He is the man who discovered in 1988 that  Chimney Rock is connected to the Northern Lunar Standstill.  He continues to do research &amp; usually comes here every year to share the latest.  You should have a chance to meet him.  His book tells  all the important information about Chimney Rock &amp; the Chacoan Culture.  This is another book that I take to most Astronomy Events. It is available at the C.R.I.A. Chimney Rock Gift Shop. I recommend it to learn the details of the Astronomy activity of the Ancient People.  It is the legacy that we are carrying on.  <\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; SAN&nbsp; JUAN &nbsp;&nbsp;STARGAZERS\u2019 &nbsp;LIBRARY&nbsp; OF&nbsp; GREAT&nbsp; COURSES: &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; These may be checked out for&nbsp; 3 weeks&nbsp; from&nbsp; Joan&nbsp; by&nbsp; Stargazers.
