Great information on Astronomy
Published by Jim M , 1 year ago
Anyone wanting to expand their understanding of Astronomy will want this book. It covers a wide range of topics on Astronomy. The information is presented clearly and easily accessible. Have purchased an earlier edition and this newer edition has done a great job of updating material.

I had to buy this book for a class, but given textbooks in general, this one is perfectly adequate.

The book was in mint condition. I received it promptly. I am confused though as to the record of it's purchase date. I bought this book in early September and the notification I just received says I purchased it yesterday. Other than that, no complaints.
Good read lost of water

Its a good read, clear definitions, emphasis on getting sence of things, and simple relationships (say lifetimes scales as inverse of mass squared) but rather poor problems if one intends to use as a textbook... a 100lvl classes only :)
Yay! Color pictures!

This was an excellent book and fun to read. I've been a lover of astronomy for 7 years since I was 13 years old! I've read dozens of astronomy books and this one really is a great one. It definitely made my class easier and more enjoyable. The CD-ROM helps too! Nice big book with tons of color pictures, and interesting facts. Not boring at all. It was a good choice for the class.
