Astronomy: Principles and Practice, Fourth Edition (PBK)
Autor A.E. Royen Limba Engleză Paperback – iun 2003
This reference furthers your study of astronomy by presenting the basic software and hardware, providing several straightforward mathematical tools, and discussing some simple physical processes that are either involved in the astronomer's tools of trade or concerned in the mechanisms associated with astronomical bodies. The first six chapters introduce the simple observations that can be made by the eye as well as discuss how such observations were interpreted by previous civilizations. The next several chapters examine the interpretation of positional measurements and the basic principles of celestial mechanics. The authors then explore radiation, optical telescopes, and radio and high-energy technologies. They conclude with practical projects and exercises.
Features New to the Fourth Edition:
Revised and expanded, this edition continues to offer vital information about the fundamentals of astronomy. Astronomy: Principles and Practice, Fourth Edition satisfies the need of anyone who has a strong desire to understand the philosophy and applications of the science of astronomy.

Recenzii
"…The book is well organized and conveniently divided into four sections. … A feature of the text which I found particularly appealing was the almost conversational style in which it is written, … making it riveting reading. Another aspect which was striking was the manner in which the authors very successfully integrated historical and factual information. … the book provides first-year students with a solid basis on which to continue studies in astronomy or physics."
-Physical Sciences Educational Reviews, Vol. 7, Issue 1, June 2006
"… the strengths of the old version have been retained … and the book has been brought up to date with, for example, the sections on CCDs and modern telescopes."
- Vik Dhillon, Sheffield University, UK
"Members will find themselves returning to it again and again for help with those really searching questions. A book worth considering."
- Jeffrey Barham, Popular Astronomy

Descriere
Known to many astronomers as simply "Roy & Clarke," the authors revised and extended this edition to account for developments and changes in teaching over the last decade. It introduces the concepts and historical development of astronomy, presents a course on positional measurement and celestial mechanics, and describes the techniques and instrumentation of modern astronomical observation and measurement.
