Synopses & ReviewsBook News Annotation:This introductory textbook by Chaisson (Tufts U.) and McMillan
(Drexel U.) has some of the best explanations of light and matter
I've seen in a textbook for non-science majors—particularly good
are the sections on spectral analysis. The third edition
incorporates new information about recent discoveries: e.g., the
reported detection of neutrino oscillations and its relevance to the
solar neutrino problem; new H-R diagram based on Hipparcos data
on nearby stars; and discussion of recent spacecraft missions to Mars
and the NEAR mission to asteroid Eros. Chapters follow the
earth-out approach: from the Earth and its moon to galaxies and
cosmology. The CD-ROM includes an electronic version of the text and
56 videos with voiceovers.
