Media Reviews
REVIEWS OF FIRST EDITION unique among available texts and has so much to offer ... no one involved in astronomy teaching will want to be without a copy. THE PHYSICS TEACHER a welcome addition to the 'introductory' textbooks available for astronomy courses. AMERICAN SCIENTIST the wide range of expertise gives the book an authority that would be almost impossible for a single-author text ... there are other aids to the reader: worked examples ... starred sections in small print take the inquisitive reader beyond the general level of the book.
