Críticas:
'It is a textbook, but the author shows that a 'higher level' book can still be visually attractive. it is an important contribution to the literature intended for serious students, but it could catch any reader's imagination ... Students at many levels could enjoy the book, and at the same time see for themselves the application of the physics and mathematics they are learning.' Gnomon

'... recommended for all amateur astronomers ...'. Orion

'... it's quite difficult to find a general astronomy text that can be recommended to ... first year undergraduates with the expectation that they'll still find it useful in their final year A Physical Perspective ... enters the field as an outstanding candidate to fill that role ... first-rate ...' The Observatory
Reseña del editor:
This fully revised and updated text is a comprehensive introduction to astronomical objects and phenomena. By applying some basic physical principles to a variety of situations, students will learn how to relate everyday physics to the astronomical world. Starting with the simplest objects, the text contains explanations of how and why astronomical phenomena occur, and how astronomers collect and interpret information about stars, galaxies and the solar system. The text looks at the properties of stars, star formation and evolution; neutron stars and black holes; the nature of galaxies; and the structure of the universe. It examines the past, present and future states of the universe; and final chapters use the concepts that have been developed to study the solar system, its formation; the possibility of finding other planetary systems; and the search for extraterrestrial life. This comprehensive text contains useful equations, chapter summaries, worked examples and end-of-chapter problem sets.
