Astronomy, space & time books

Describes how stars respond to microscopic physics in the advanced stages of their evolution with many numerical examples and illustrations.

Describes how stars respond to microscopic physics, from formation, through hydrogen-burning phases, up to the onset of helium burning.

Let WCCO meteorologist Mike Lynch take you on a tour of the constellations and share his wealth of knowledge about the night sky. His book is a month-by-month guide of where to look and what to see, complete with interesting...

Introduces nonphysicists to the core philosophical issues surrounding the nature and structure of space and time. This title examines Aristotelian and Newtonian accounts of space and time, and traces how Galileo's conceptions of...

Gazetteer and Atlas of Astronomy is the first reference to list, define and illustrate every named object in the sky within a single work. U.S. Geological Survey maps are presented, in addition to English and American...

In January 1788, William Dawes came to Botany Bay with the First Fleet Marines. This book offers a look into Dawes' notebooks which bring vividly to life the first four years of British colonisation, and in particular, Dawes'...

Offers an introduction to how to do astronomy in the digital age. This title explains the principles of astronomy as well as the practical techniques to provide both beginners and more experienced observers with the information...

Here is an account of the life and work of Thomas Gold, one of the most remarkable astrophysicists in the second half of the 20th century. Based on Gold's autobiography, this book is edited by the Cambridge astrophysicist and...

This book details complex physical processes involved in the creation and early evolution of stars. It illustrates how these processes reveal themselves from radio wavelengths to high energy X-rays and gamma--rays, with reference...

This book presents results of Submillimeter Array (SMA) and Very Large Array (VLA) studies of massive-star formation regions in the early stages of ionization.

This book presents experiments that teach the physics involved in astronomy. It helps readers learn important analytical tools, appreciate the physics deployed in astronomy, and experience instrument calibration as well as...

Considers the various aspects of astronomy-related life and environment. This title deals with socio-dynamical aspects of the astronomy (and related space sciences) community.

Deals with the requirements of space physics. This title describes the Earth's plasma environment, followed by a derivation of single particle motions in electromagnetic fields, with applications to the Earth's magnetosphere. It...
