Astronomy is a well-balanced, comprehensive introduction to classical
and modern astronomy. While emphasizing both the astronomical concepts
and the underlying physical principles, the text provides a sound basis
for more profound studies in the astronomical sciences. This is the
fifth edition of the successful undergraduate textbook and reference
work. It has been extensively modernized and extended in the parts
dealing with extragalactic astronomy and cosmology. You will also find
augmented sections on the solar system and extrasolar planets as well as
a new chapter on astrobiology. Long considered a standard text for
physical science majors, Fundamental Astronomy is also an excellent
reference work for dedicated amateur astronomers.
