Synopsis
Like previous textbooks co-authored by Chaisson (Tufts University) and McMillan (Drexel University), this one doesn't skimp on explanations of complex concepts such as spectroscopy and radiation, while keeping them accessible for students with no previous science background. Chapters follow an earth-out organization, with topics ranging from surface features on the moon and the discovery of extrasolar planets to observations of solar neutrinos and the expanding universe. Numerous color photos and diagrams as well as acetate overlays (illustrating the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram and Hubble's law) are included. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
