Cycles: An Introduction to Astronomy and Time
Jay Ryan

Now from Fourth Day Press!
Before Signs & Seasons, there was Cycles!

This little 32 page comic book introduces the reader to the three astronomical cycles -- The Day, The Month, and The Year -- upon which our modern system of timekeeping is based. Restore an awareness of these cycles, lost by modern man's dependence on clocks and calendars. Engaging illustrations graphically reveal the motion of the Sun and stars, phases of the Moon, and the reasons for the seasons. Remedy common scientific misconceptions with these delightful cartoons.

Since 1997, Cycles has been used in high school and college astronomy classrooms around the USA and beyond. At last count, there were 40,000 copies of Cycles in print. Fourth Day Press is pleased to once again make Cycles available to the homeschool community.
