Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book, first published in 1869, is an introduction to astronomy written for high school and college students.

Designed to impart the main principles of astronomy, the author selected essential topics, arranged them for effective instruction, and based his discussions on a familiarity with basic mathematics. The third edition includes advances made in the six years since the second edition. Descriptive portions of the book were updated to reflect new information and incorporate the views of prominent astronomers. The book is written in a style that undergraduates will find accessible and engaging, and will serve as an introduction to more advanced works and as a useful reference for astronomy enthusiasts.
