About this product

Product Information

Discovering the Universe is the best-selling brief text for descriptive one-term astronomy courses (especially those with no mathematics prerequisites). Carried along by the book's vibrant main theme, "the process of scientific discovery," readers will encounter spectacular sights, landmark experiments, and recent discoveries, while learning to avoid the pitfalls created by common misconceptions about astronomy. Now enhanced with a powerful technology and image projection package, this is the most exciting and effective edition yet. The accompanying CD-ROM features a special student version of the award-winning virtual planetarium software, Starry Night Enthusiast and the new innovative Deep Space Explorer.

5 out of 5 stars
by Tv40UrxGTqq@Del...Dec 10, 2008
Seeking knowledge
For months I had planned on buying some textbooks. I found half.com and was amazed at the prices. I bought this textbook and 35 others covering the subjects of cosmology, astrophysics, particle physics, nuclear physics, quantum physics, astronomy, nucleosynthesis, electromagnetism, palaeontology, geology, 11 different kinds of math, chemistry, and normal physics. I bought them all for only $460.00 when it could have easily been $3,000.00 to $5,000.00 at face value. You can't ask for a better price on high quality textbooks pack full of knowledge. When I'm done going through all of these in the next 2 years I will be starting college. I will be able to test out of many courses and be probably 4 to 6 years ahead of everyone else who is just starting out in college as I will be. My one and only dislike is simply this..... Half.com did not have a textbook called "Palaeoclimatology and Palaeoceanography". Yup thats it.... XD I had all of the books withing 2 weeks of ordering. Not a single one was late. 75% of them came in EARLY the rest were right on time of the ETA I was given. You could not ask for a better internet shoping experience!Read full review

Glad i found my science book!
Great book. Its exactly what i needed for my physics class and i got it for a resonable price. If i would have bought this from school, i would have paid almost 150.00 for it!
