Rezension zu „Astronomy: A Physical Perspective “
'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 ...'
