CANSTAR

Fundamental Astronomy

← Resources Library  |  Books & reference works

The standard university textbook covering the whole of astronomy, with 419 illustrations and 83 exercises with solutions. It is the rigorous scientific backing for a training programme and for anyone on a project team who needs a reliable reference instead of a popular-science approximation — the book to consult when a claim in a script or a course module has to be checked. By Hannu Karttunen, Pekka Kröger, Heikki Oja, Markku Poutanen & Karl Johan Donner (eds.).
