<p>“The premise of the book is to put the Universe to scale using more-easily-understood analogies. And where comparison pictures, like that on the cover, are used, this premise works well. … Overall, this is a book packed with information and many good illustrations. … it does present much of current astronomical knowledge in an original way.” (Debra Holton, The Observatory, Vol. 137 (1257), April, 2017)</p><p>“It uses familiar objects or time frames to create a sense of scale that helps the reader visualize the sizes and the distances between extraterrestrial bodies and structures ranging from asteroids to galaxy clusters. … Picture This! is well formatted. Its wide margins keep the text to an easy-to-read size and provide space for explanatory footnotes. The photographs are almost three-dimensional in their clarity.” (Loretta Hall, National Space Society, nss.org, February, 2017)</p><p>“Carroll uses many original illustrations and is generally successful in the process, especially with figures that compare features on moons and planets with similar features on Earth. … the book is recommended for persons interested in the solar system, rather than as a general introduction to modern astronomy. Summing Up: Recommended. Lower-division undergraduates and general readers.” (D. E. Hogg, Choice, Vol. 54 (3), November, 2016)</p><p>“In Picture This! space artist and science writer Michael Carroll takes on astronomy. … Carroll uses the scale drawings as a set-up for exciting astronomy stories. … great for science enthusiasts and those interested in the general ideas of science without overwhelming the reader with the details. And as a scientist, I enjoyed … the scale drawings in Picture This!” (Rhett Allain, Nature Physics, Vol. 12, June, 2016)</p>
