Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an outgrowth of the notes made for the semester lectures on 'Problems of Extragalactic Astronomy' given almost annually during two decades at the Ob servatorio Astronomico of the Universidad de Cordoba. Shorter versions were also given at La Plata, Santiago de Chile, Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Paraiba. E. Scalise made a Portuguese language version of the notes and encouraged me to publish them; although my friend J. Kleczek is to be blamed for the idea of this book. Not every subject on Extragalactic Astronomy has been touched in this book: instead I have followed those which interested me during 25 years of professional practice in this part of the world. I acknowledge helpful suggestions from M. Pastoriza and G. Carranza, the com prehension of Director L. Milone, and the collaboration of the staff of the Observa tory in Cordoba. R. Tschamler's humor and wit made light the task of producing the English version and M. Pizarro's devotedness produced the edited MS. To both of them I am in deep gratitude. "A book is published out of necessity, otherwise the author would spend his entire life polishing the originals" was the answer given by J.L. Borges to an inquisi tive journalist. These words explain why this book is so different from the lecture notes, and also from the book I was hoping for. I thank B. McCormac and the D. Reidel Publ. Co. for my salvation from Borges' inferno.

This book was released on 2022-09-15 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this insightful work on astronomy, the writer attempts to explain how much of the fundamentals of Astronomy can be obtained with the coarsest observation with the naked eye, and that the instrumental images derived from a standard globe are sufficient for understanding the instruments in an Observatory. His main aim is to impress upon the student of Astronomy that nothing is entirely beyond his reach.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical Talks by an Astronomer The present volume has not been designed as a systematic treatise on astronomy. There are many excellent books of that kind, suitable for serious students as well as the general reader; but they are necessarily somewhat dry and unattractive, because they must aim at completeness. Completeness means detail, and detail means dryness. But the science of astronomy contains subjects that admit of detached treatment; and as many of these are precisely the ones of greatest general interest, it has seemed well to select several, and describe them in language free from technicalities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Elements of Practical Astronomy My experience in presenting the elements of practical astronomy to rather large classes of students in the University of Michigan led me to the conclusion that the extensive treatises on the subject could not be used satisfactorily, except in special cases. Brief lecture notes were employed in preference. Arrangements were made with a local publisher that the.notes should be written out in full and printed, almost exclusively it was supposed, for use in my own classes. The process of enlargement had just begun when the call to my present position was accepted. The completion of the manuscript in the midst of new and pressing duties was extremely difficult; the text and the details of the treatment lacked the harmony which can come only from a leisurely development of the subject. Nevertheless, the first edition has been used in a great many colleges and universities whose astronomical departments are of the highest character. This is my reason for carefully revising and slightly enlarging the book for a second edition. A word concerning the limitations of the book may not be out of place. The field of practical astronomy has become very extensive, embracing essentially all the work carried on in our astronomical observatories.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Funded by the National Science Foundation, Lecture-Tutorials for Introductory Astronomy, 4th Edition is designed to make traditional lecture-format courses more interactive. These easy-to-implement student activities can be integrated into any existing course structure. Presented in a classroom-ready format and requiring no equipment, each of the 50 Lecture-Tutorials challenges students with a series of questions carefully designed to engage them in critical reasoning and spark classroom discussion. Each activity targets one or more specific learning objectives based on education research; these activities lead to deeper, more complete student understanding through a series of structured questions that prompt students to use reasoning and identify and correct their misconceptions. All content has been extensively field tested and 7 new tutorials have been added that respond to reviewer demand, numerous interviews, and nationally conducted workshops--back cover.
