#astrodon folks, if you were to recommend a book introducing the very basics of astro to someone who has a very different background (say diplomacy), what book would it be?
No maths or physics background beyond school knowledge from years ago.
Boosts welcome.

The problem with resources like books, esp for beginners is different people have different learning styles.
I would recommend going to a local library, and seeing what they have, read the first chapter or flip through the book to see if it matches your style. The right mix of text, pictures, diagrams etc. You can get the book out of the library and if you want it on a long term basis, then you can take down the details and contact a book store.
