Synopsis

Astronomy in Depth is more than just a textbook. It covers pre-university level Astronomy courses (in the UK, the GCSE syllabuses) and provides numerical examples to help students, but is also an ideal introduction for amateur astronomers. Many hobbyists "pick it up as they go along" without ever properly getting to grips with the science; this book is both a prevention and cure - perfect as a starting point, and equally useful to fill in concepts that long-time amateurs have missed.

A propos du livre

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

Astronomy in Depth fills the need for a textbook that covers pre-university level Astronomy courses (in the UK, the GCSE syllabuses) and provides numerical examples to help students. It is also written as a serious foundation in Astronomy for amateurs who want to take a more detailed approach than can be found in the bulk of introductory astronomy books. Almost every aspect of astronomy is considered, from Earth and its place in the solar system, through instrumentation, the planets, stars, and galaxies, to black holes and the beginnings of cosmology. This book is perfect for anyone who wants to get to know astronomy in detail, as quickly as possible.
