With Astronomy Today, Sixth Edition, trusted authors Eric Chaisson and Steve McMillan communicate their excitement about astronomy and awaken students to the universe around them. Thoroughly updated, the revised edition focuses on the process of scientific discovery and scientific method, making “how we know what we know” a more integral part of the text with attention to clearly and concisely presenting scientific terms to the non-science student. In addition, the authors have taken great care to identify places where they could clarify or simplify an explanation, better define a term, and discuss the process used in making a discovery. This edition offers the most complete and innovative learning package available for one- or two-semester introductory courses in astronomy.

读后感

本书是英文版的，所以看的时候有些吃力的。我看的是电子版的，发现看电子版比看纸质书有个好处就是可以直接用谷歌金山词霸划词翻译，省了不少查字典的时间（很多天文学专业词汇的）。 言归正传，这本有很多亮点：首先，图文并茂是最大的特色，而且电子版书中的图可都是高...

豆瓣还真有= =，下次写篇长评，标题就叫天文你妹，祸害人间

Perhaps it is the most rigorous introductory astronomy textbook. Although it is a technical and detailed book it is also beautifully illustrated and written in clear, elegant English. However, topics like stellar structure and evolution are somewhat thin.

很好的教材
