“Vistas of Many
Worlds is a true gem… Anderson’s photorealistic
computer-generated illustrations are lush and
intriguing, and he does an excellent job combining
speculation with scientific knowledge.”
Jason
Major, Universe Today
“Anderson’s text is
absorbing ... but the artwork steals the show on
many of these pages, for he’s been meticulous at
recreating the sky as it would appear from other
star systems.”
Paul Gilster,
Centauri Dreams
“Delightful and
richly-illustrated ... a fun and easy read that
stimulates your imagination.”
Ethan Siegel, Starts with a
Bang!
“FIVE STARS! An
excellent book for those passionate about astronomy.
... If you are an astronomer or even an astronomer
at heart, this is the book for you.”
Portland Book Review
“This book does
something hard to do: it captures the sense of
wonder that drives many of us to an interest in
science, without playing fast and loose with facts.”
Reader Review
“Quite simply,
stunning. ... It is not a hurry-up-and-read-it book.
This coffee-table treat is one to read by the fire,
with a cup of hot tea and a cat on the lap.”

Review
Have you ever wondered what it would
be like to gaze back at the Sun from Alpha Centauri?
What did the starry skies of Africa look like to our
hominid ancestors who roamed the Earth millions of
years ago? How would planets orbiting other
stars appear to us if we flew over them? Where might
we discover other planets that truly resemble Earth
and what would it be like to stand on the shores of
their oceans?
