Are there a lot of maps and pictures in The Cycle of Cosmic Catastrophes? I was considering buying it on my Kindle but I don’t like reading books if you have to flip back to maps and frequently look at pictures to get a good understanding.

It's very difficult to read detailed scientific articles and books (their color graphs, charts, and photo's or illustrations) on the black-and-gray-and-white small screen of Amazon's (current version) of the Kindle.

Great for text-based books, great for travel and airline waiting areas. But for scientific books? Not so good, unless you don't need the graphics.)

There are a few, but they’re easy to absorb upon one viewing, and having good captions as well.
