    5.0 out of 5 stars It's the best Introduction I've found
    Reviewed in the United States on 5 April 2013
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    Astronomy from A-Z and everything in between. Although, as an Aussie, I found the constant Northern Hemisphere bias a little tiresome - but I us southerners did get a mention here and there. It's a really thorough introduction to the Universe and (almost) everything in it. It's not too complex for the uninitiated, but not too simple for those looking for more depth.
    This is a fabulous introduction....

    5.0 out of 5 stars The Universe in your hands....
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 February 2012
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    Why are so many university introductory courses in Astronomy requiring this book?

    I have just read through the first 3 chapters and am stunned by its comprehensiveness and quality. Just look at the general structure of a chaper;
    - a brief introduction to the chapter's topics
    - the main course, with themes nicely developed and linked
    - a refresher at the end
    - test questions (answers in the back, of course)
    - some practical examples for you to try out (e.g. work out where the moon crosses the ecliptic - why is this important? read the chapter on solar eclipses!)
    - more advanced questions
    - and further reading

    Good enough, you may say, but the points are reinforced with beautiful pictures and diagrams, and there are plenty of box sections for expansion or further details. There is occasional humour and plenty of anecdotes to keep your interest.

    Best of all, the maths is ALMOST harmless. Yes, there are various formulae which are inescapable in an undergraduate book on astronomy but in the box sections they work through some useful examples so you become adept at their use.

    Finally - if you wish, there are further materials including animated diagrams available through a subscription on the internet to help support and consolidate the course materials. However, the book is so good I doubt you will need them.

    Brian Cox - eat your heart out!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book
    Reviewed in the United States on 31 August 2013

    This book is very informative and a great deal. I just wanted to document the fact that I rented this book used, and when I received it, there was a tear in the cover. It doesn't bother me any, but I will not pay any possible fees for damage to the book when it came with damage. I have no problem providing a picture. Thank you!

    For an amateur astronomer like me this book has more information than I will ever need...but when I want to learn about for example the seasons and the Earth's tilt, the book has great diagrams of the mechanism. It is meant for a degree course ... but I think it's superb for any one who wants DETAIL...a lot of books I have lloked at have nice pictures but not enough on the detail
