Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Organizationally, the text takes a stars-first approach. Mike Seeds teaches astronomy not just by presenting facts, but by building a conceptual framework and then letting the facts fit into that framework. Seeds uses astronomy to show how science works and how physics prescribes the universe. In learning these concepts, students will see physics not as a set of laws to be memorized, but as powerful tools that help them understand the world in which they live.
