Discovering the universe (7th ed)

Discovering the Universe is the best-selling text for descriptive one-term astronomy courses (especially those with no mathematics prerequisites).

Carried along by the book's vibrant main theme - the process of scientific discovery - readers will encounter spectacular sights, landmark experiments, and recent discoveries, while learning to avoid the pitfalls created by common misconceptions about astronomy.

Now enhanced with a powerful technology and image projection package, this is the most exciting and effective edition yet.

The accompanying CD-ROM features a special student version of the award winning planetarium software Starry Night as well as the universe modelling programme Deep Space Explorer.
