About This Item
Cambridge University Press, New York, 2013. First Edition. Softcover. Very Good Condition. Illustrator: diagrams, photographs & drawings. clean copy, no damage, no annotations. As the title suggests, this book emphasises student-active learning. Rather than emphasising the facts of astronomy, it emphasises how we know them, and it regularly involves the student in the chain of arguments leads to them. Although the book's mathematical level is appropriate for nonscientists, it asks a good deal of the reader, and it wrestles with conflicting theories, incomplete evidence and hypothesis testing.  From the preface page IX Size: 4to 9¾" - 12" tall.
