After having problems with another seller for the same product. This seller was excellent, fast shipping, provided continuous communication in-order to be contacted, and considered the matter I dealt with previously, which, they expedited my order. I will most certainly purchase from this buyer again. Thank you again! Trina

The shipping was quicker than I expected, and the book was in good condition for a killer price (It retails for about $120!). I was very satisfied with my purchase.

Great Textbook
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
For anyone who has a vague interest in astronomy, this would be the book to read. Albeit not entirely simple, this is a relatively straight forward book that uses excellent examples to explain difficult concepts. There are many charts and diagrams. How exactly does a black hole work? What's the difference between a nova and a supernova (not as simple as you might think)? Why do we get meteor showers? There is a bit of mathematics involved, but nothing too intimidating. This is an excellent textbook. Best of all, a CD-ROM is included with lots of multimedia content, study questions, and links to more sources. Avoid other dry textbooks and purchase this one.
