Book Overview
Unique in its breadth of coverage and level of presentation, this textbook provides more on the nature of galaxies, extragalactic objects, the large-scale structure of the Universe, and cosmology than is available in general textbooks on astronomy. It remains, however, accessible to advanced undergraduate students. One or more chapters are devoted to each of the following: the classification and morphology of galaxies; the galactic interstellar medium; galactic kinematics; elliptical, spiral, and barred spiral galaxies; the interactions between galaxies; extragalactic radio sources, quasars and their line spectra, and other active galactic nuclei; the formation of galaxies; the Universe as a whole; and cosmology.

Rated 4 starsGee, I thought it was pretty good.
By Thriftbooks.com User,
I agree the translation was sloppy and distracting but found the story interesting and different. I also bought the book based on the Times review which really should have noted the shortcomings in the translation and spelling. Worth reading, I think.
