Description

Book Synopsis

Intended for undergraduate nonscience majors satisfying a general, education requirement or seeking an elective in natural science, the text examines physics, but with a different perspective from most undergraduate astronomy courses: developing the principles of physics to illuminate the things we see in the heavens. The fundamental problems of the behavior of matter and energy are thus used to study the solar system, the structure and evolution of stars, and the early universe.

Review Quotes

From the reviews

"This excellent text on physics is intended for undergraduate non-science majors. It is a unique introductory physics book in the sense that its emphasis is on applications in astronomy ... This kind of well-written and compelling text is the best publicity for the physical sciences! Even science majors and physicists (especially teachers) should read it and enjoy (at least the reviewer enjoyed it a lot)." Mathematical Reviews
