Book Description

This fourth edition of Roy and Clarke's classic textbook has been updated and expanded to include the many exciting developments in modern astronomy and experimental observations. Together, this book and its companion, Astronomy: Principles and Practice comprise a complete two-year course in astronomy. This volume explores the observable features of the universe. The first part describes our solar system and its members. The second part on astrophysics treats the nature of matter and its behavior in stellar bodies and interstellar matter, and the third part discusses our Galaxy in detail before considering external galaxies and ending with questions of cosmology and cosmogony.
