Download or read book Perspectives on Astronomy Media Edition written by Michael Seeds and published by Cengage Learning. This book was released on 2007-01-31 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PERSPECTIVES ON ASTRONOMY features the same engaging writing style and logical conceptual presentation that has become a hallmark of Mike Seeds's introductory astronomy texts, but in a slimmer and more affordable alternative for instructors looking for a text that truly focuses on the core concepts. Seeds and new co-author Dana Backman personalize the history of the universe by placing students at the center of the latest chapter in a grand and amazing story-how we are the latest link in the great chain of origins. The authors also emphasize the role of the scientific process throughout the text, helping students understand how analyzing scientific evidence not only answers the question How Do We Know? but also provides deeper insights into our place in the universe as well. New copies of PERSPECTIVES ON ASTRONOMY include access to CengageNOW, an online diagnostic resource and personalized learning system for students. Access is also included for Virtual Astronomy Labs, a collection of twenty interactive online exercises that cover the main concepts in introductory astronomy.

Download or read book Stars and Galaxies written by Michael A. Seeds and published by Brooks Cole. This book was released on 2003 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adapted from the newly revised FOUNDATIONS OF ASTRONOMY, 7th edition, STARS AND GALAXIES, 3rd edition contains the introductory and historical astronomy chapters from FOUNDATIONS as well as all of the chapters on stars, galaxies, cosmology, and the chapter on extraterrestrial life. This newly revised and updated 3rd edition shows students their place in the universe - not just their location, but also their role as planet dwellers in an evolving universe. Fascinating and engaging, the book illustrates how science works, and how scientists depend on evidence to test hypotheses. Students will learn to focus on the scientific method through the strong central theme of "how we know what we know." Through a discussion of this interplay between evidence and hypothesis, Seeds provides not just a series of facts, but also a conceptual framework for understanding the logic of astronomical knowledge. The book vividly conveys the author's love of astronomy, shows students how the universe can be described by a small set of physical laws, and illustrates how they can comprehend their place in the universe by understanding these laws, rather than simply memorizing facts. By crafting a story about astronomy, Seeds shows students how to ask questions of nature and therefore gradually puzzle out the beautiful secrets of the physical world. The book's use of mathematics is incorporated into the body of the text (as well as in separate sections for easy reference), but the arguments of the text do not depend on mathematical reasoning, allowing math-averse students to easily follow the story. The revision covers the history of astronomy, elementary physics concepts, stars and galaxies, cosmology, and the origin of life on earth and on other worlds.

Download or read book New Trends in Astronomy Teaching written by L. Gouguenheim and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1998-10 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do students learn astronomy? How can the World-Wide Web be used to teach? And how do planetariums help with educating the public? These are just some of the timely questions addressed in this stimulating review of new trends in the teaching of astronomy. Based on an international meeting hosted by the University of London and the Open University (IAU Colloquium 162), this volume presents articles by experts from around the world. The proceedings of the first IAU Colloquium (105), The Teaching of Astronomy, edited by Percy and Pasachoff, were first published in 1990 and soon became established as the definitive resource for astronomy teachers. Astronomy education has advanced enormously in the intervening 7 years, and this sequel will inspire and encourage teachers of astronomy at all levels and provide them with wealth of ideas and experience on which to build.
