Moon and Mercury, Mars and Venus: This highly illustrated textbook for a one-semester introduction to astronomy describes the full range of the astronomical universe and how astronomers think about the cosmos. Throughout, illustrations have been updated to be clearer and more understandable to the novice student.

This book is not yet featured on Listopia. Conservation Land Management CLM is a quarterly magazine that is widely regarded as essential reading for all who are involved in land management for nature universd, across the British Isles. My one complaint is the number of exclamation marks used in the text.
However, this is definitely not something to read in your free time just to satisfy a curiousity. My PhD is in psychology but I like science parts of psychology are science but a lot is bull sauce and I read a lot of science and math.
My review is of the book. Go to Conservation Land Management. Thoroughly updated and re-conceived, Astronomy, Ninth Edition, tge the introductory astronomy student with the essential tools for understanding the cosmos.
Write a customer review. Using the plain-language approach that has proven highly popular in Fleisch's other Student's Guides, this book is ideal for non-science majors taking introductory astronomy courses. Astronomers have gathered a wealth of knowledge about the universe through hundreds of years of painstaking observations.
These observations are interpreted by the use of physical and chemical laws familiar to mankind. These interpretations supply information about the nature of these astronomical objects, allowing for the deduction of their surface and interior conditions.
The science associated with these interpretations is called astrophysics. The new observational potential offered by space stations and the availability of powerful and highly specialized computers have revealed novel aspects of the fascinating realm of galaxies, quasars, stars, and planets.
ISBN: Category: Science Page: View: This invaluable book, now in its second edition, covers a wide range of topics appropriate for both undergraduate and postgraduate courses in astrophysics.
The book conveys a deep and coherent understanding of the stellar phenomena, and basic astrophysics of stars, galaxies, clusters of galaxies and other heavenly bodies of interest. Since the first appearance of the book in , significant progress has been made in different branches of Astronomy and Astrophysics.
The second edition takes into account the developments of the subject which have taken place in the last decade. Other developments discussed pertain to standard solar model, solar neutrino puzzle, cosmic microwave background radiation, Drake equation, dwarf galaxies, ultra compact dwarf galaxies, compact groups and cluster of galaxies.
Problems at the end of each chapter motivate the students to go deeper into the topics.
