Customer Review:
Great Book
My expectations were high when I ordered this book and I was not disappointed. It covers all the basic topics in Astronomy in an understandable and exciting way (coordinate systems, observation, radiation, motion in gravitational fields, solar system, stars, compact objects, cosmology,..). The mathematics in this book is fairly moderate: an understanding of basic algebra and calculus is enough to follow the text and solve the problems (which include detailed solutions). Everybody who is interested in Astronomy should have this book!
Sehr gutes, allgemeinverständliches Werk
Ich habe mir das Buch für eine Facharbeit in Physik über Röntgenstrahlung im Weltraum aus der Uni-Bibliothek BS ausgeliehen und war überrascht über die rel. leicht verständliche Sprache und das trotzdem vermittelte Fachwissen. Wenn sie einen guten Überblick über die Astronomie und der zugrundeliegenden physikalischen (und mathematischen) Grundlagen haben wollen, so ist dieses Werk sehr empfehlenswert.
