4.0 out of 5 stars
Explorations
This book is very detailed and the CD-Rom has excellent pictures. The only downfall is that the mathmatical functions are not detailed enough for me.

This book was necessary for a class but I also found it interesting and I am learning a lot more that I did not know before.

The author devotes very few pages to several important topics, while devoting too much material to trivial information. The figures, while adequate, could be greatly improved. There is also not much math in this text, and on occasion I have found a few things that were downright wrong. Online support (for either students or instructors) was minimal. However, the copy of Starry Night Pro included with the text makes it almost worth the purchase price, and we ended up designing several labs around this excellent program.
