Discovering The Universe

Neil F. Comins, William J. Kaufmann III

496 pages, parution le 30/05/2005 (7eme édition)

Résumé

Discovering the Universe is the best-selling brief text for descriptive one-term astronomy courses (especially those with no mathematics prerequisites). Carried along by the book's vibrant main theme--the process of scientific discovery--readers will encounter spectacular sights, landmark experiments, and recent discoveries, while learning to avoid the pitfalls created by common misconceptions about astronomy. Now enhanced with a powerful technology and image projection package, this is the most exciting and effective edition yet. The accompanying CD-ROM features a special student version of the award-winning virtual planetarium software, Starry Night Enthusiast and the new innovative Deep Space Explorer.

He earned a bachelor's degree in engineering physics at Cornell University, a amster's degree in physics at the University of Maryland, and a PhD in astrophysics from University College, Cardiff, Wales, under the guidance of Bernard F. Schutz. dr. Comins's work for his doctorate, on general relativity, was cited in Subramanyan Chandrasekhar's Nobel laureate speech.

He has done theoretical and experimental research in general relativity, observational astronomy, computer simulations of gaalxy evolution, and science education. The fourth edition of Discovering the Universe was the first textbook that Dr. Comins wrote for W.H. Freeman and Company, having taken over following the death of Bill Kaufmann in 1994.
