This well-received textbook has been designed by a team of experts
for introductory courses in astronomy and astrophysics. Starting
with a detailed discussion of our Galaxy, the Milky Way, it goes on
to give a general introduction to normal and active galaxies
including models for their formation and evolution. The second part
of the book provides an overview of cosmological models, discussing
the Big Bang, dark energy and the expansion of the Universe. This
second edition has been updated to reflect the latest developments
and observations, while still probing the unresolved questions at
the forefront of research. It contains numerous learning features
such as boxed summaries, exercises with full solutions, a glossary
and a supporting website hosting further teaching materials.
Written in an accessible style that avoids complex mathematics, and
illustrated in colour throughout, this text is suitable for
self-study and will appeal to amateur astronomers as well as
students.
