A student-active introduction to astronomy, emphasizing inquiry
learning so students will clearly understand our universe and the
scientific method. Within-text and end-of-chapter questions check
understanding of concepts and require the student to think
critically through astronomy-based problems. 'Nature of Science'
and 'Detectives on the Case' sections in each chapter encourage
students to take on the role of a scientist and so develop an
understanding of how scientific progress is made, leading students
through a chain of arguments of forming and testing hypotheses, in
the context of specific astronomical topics. By focusing on key
topics, the student is able to develop a deeper understanding of
the core areas of astronomy. Math is used to make intuitive points
and kept simple by using a two-track system to first describe the
logic of the calculation followed by a more detailed example.
Simple illustrations support the text and step students through
concepts visually.
