Fred's first book, a lively account of the telescope and the extraordinary people who created it was released in Australia by Allen & Unwin in 2004. It is available in paperback, and published in over five different languages. This was followed up with a fast-paced book of questions asked on the ABC radio during his 13 years of radio interviews and a CD of some of Fred’s original guitar works.
The telescope is literally the world's most far-reaching invention. It can unlock nature's secrets in the remotest corners of the Universe. It is a time machine, allowing us to look billions of years into the past for answers to some of our most profound questions. "Stargazer" brings the intriquing story of the telescope to a general readership for the first time.
Fred has taken the many questions that have been asked by listeners of his popular, long-running radio shows, and answered them in a highly entertaining and informative introduction to our planet and the Universe.
