Astronomy Volume II: Stars & Galaxies

"I wrote this book as a text for an introductory course in astronomy for college students. I have taught such courses for many years at the University of Iowa and the University of Alabama in Huntsville. One of my main goals in those courses and in this book is to provide my students with a broad enough, deep enough background in astronomy that they will be able to follow current developments years after they finish my course. This book is current with regard to recent developments..." John D. Fix, author.
