An Excellent Astronomy Science educational reference/text
This is a great resource for coaching Science Olympiad intermediate student participants. From the science standpoint, almost everything is here. The organizers pick select objects. Many of them are included here while others require other references. Those are easy to find. Some of the Problems at the end of the chapters can be used while others are more applicable for high school participants. This book would also be good for college students.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
