Review

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."

NATURE



Contemporary Physics, 1995, on a previous edition

"...very clearly aimed at the science student market, and would make an excellent undergraduate or starting post-graduate textbook.... This book represents excellent value for the serious student of astronomy and astrophysics, and I would highly recommend it as a general undergraduate text. It covers the whole field of modern astronomy in a clear and concise way that is rare in modern introductory-level textbooks."
