Summary: An Excellent Introductory Coursebook
Comment: Chaisson and McMillan have succeeded in creating a textbook that works on many levels. First of all, the book makes a true effort to excite students about astronomy, as it starts out immediately with a view of the universe and its massive size. Secondly, the book is approachable, with optional "more precisely" sections that cover things in detail or with more mathematics. Finally, the book challenges a college student while still being accessible to bright middle-school students (I first used it at a summer camp, the Center for Talented Youth, and the entire class used the book to great success). In addition to the natural merits of the writing, which is wonderful, and a moderate amount of history, the book includes stunning pictures and a CD-ROM that contains the entire text of the book, animations, and all of the images. It's a superb way to have the contents anywhere you need them, and look at things in greater detail. This book should be highly recommended for educators, and I highly encourage them to give it a try and to use it in their classes.
