Book
Astronomy: the universe at a glance
Pearson
2016
Abstract
This new book by trusted authors Eric Chaisson and Steve McMillan reimagines their classic textbooks in a modularly organized, visual approach to learning. Here, the essential ideas, concepts, and discoveries of modern astronomy are presented in 15 chapters, each one composed of richly illustrated, two-page spreads designed to visually engage and instruct students. As always with their books, the authors have used the pedagogically proven Earth-out approach, starting close to home and then moving progressively outward toward the limits of the observable universe. The result is a thorough yet exciting survey of much of what's known - and not known - about the cosmos today. - Back cover.
