Fabulous In-Depth Intro to Astronomy

I'm an amateur astronomy nut, and have read several dozen books on astronomy, cosmology, etc. This is probably the most clear, in-depth, understandable treatment of astronomical issues that I have ever read.

excellent, informative, illuminating

This is a premier text for the fields of astromony and comsmology.

Beginning with the ancient origins of astronomical pursuits, the reader is taken through the unfolding world of space and time. The electromagnetic spectrum, light and optics, telescopes, planet and solar system...

The third...
