David Levy"s "Star Trails" column has appeared monthly in Sky & Telescope since January 1988. This book is not purely a best-of compilation, though it does include Levy"s favorite columns. Instead the articles chosen reveal how amateur astronomy and the people who practice it have changed over the years. Star Trails is a look into the minds and hearts of the people who have made a difference in how we study and enjoy the sky, and an exploration of the personal experiences that have shaped the course of David Levy"s nights under the stars.
