Physics & Astronomy

For one- or two-semester introductory courses in astronomy.

Chaisson/McMillan is a trusted text that offers the most complete and innovative learning package available for introductory astronomy.  The goal of the Fifth Edition is to focus on the process of discovery and to better convey how science is done.  Particular attention was given to clearly and concisely presenting scientific terms to the non-science student.  Volume 1 includes Chapters 1-16, plus chapter 28. Volume 2 includes Chapters 1-5 plus 16-28.

"What do you want your students to remember from this course 5 years from now?"

• The "Process of Science" is integrated into the text narrative.  In particular the focus on scientific discovery and scientific method, or "how we know what we know", is now a much more integral part of the text (e.g. p. 6-8, 121-22, 160-65, 596-97, 611-12).
• Part-opening essays emphasize the human endeavor aspect of science. Each part opener introduces a discovery and provides a historical context to the chapters that follow (e.g. p. 1, 140, 402, 600).
• Discovery Boxes– Explore a wide variety of interesting supplementary topics, providing students with insight into how scientific knowledge evolves, and emphasizing the process of science (e.g. p. 40, 158, 176, 268, 318, 415). 
• Concept Checks —Critical thinking questions (e.g. p. 17, 145, 233, 710), based on chapter Learning Goals, test students’ conceptual understanding of a topic before moving on to the next subject.

 

 

"What role does your textbook play in your course?"

• Student perspective–For this revision, the text's development editor read the text from a student perspective, helping the authors identify places they could clarify or simplify an explanation, better define a term, and discuss the process used in making a discovery.  The result is a text that is truly accessible and useful resource for all students.  
• Expanded Glossary–200+ terms added, including definitions of words students may not know, but are not necessarily "scientific" terms (e.g. "flyby" now defined within chapter 6 Mariner 10 discussion on p. 152). 
• Integrated Learning Goals—Stated at the beginning of each chapter and highlighted within the chapter when each goal is addressed provide a framework for understanding the “big ideas” of each chapter. 
• Concept Link Icons—Refer students back to previous sections in the text to help students understand how concepts are related and allow them to more easily see the “big picture.”
• Spectrum Icons– Each photo in the text is accompanied by an icon that identifies the wavelength used to capture the image and reinforces for students how light influences the way we see things. (e.g. p. 136, 151, 217, 239, 307)

 

"How can you involve your students in class and make large lectures more interactive?"

• Lecture Tutorials – Developed by Jeffrey Adams, Edward Prather, Timothy Slater and the Conceptual Astronomy and Physics Education Research (CAPER) team, class-tested lecture tutorials challenge students with thought-provoking questions that spark classroom discussion.  Designed for large classes (300+) and scaleable for smaller sections.
• Classroom Response Systems enhances the interactivity of a lecture course by asking students questions and providing instant feedback on key concepts from the chapter.
• Research, Observation, and SkyChart III Projects

 

"Do you have an observational component in your course?"

• Starry Night Pro 4.0.5 provides everything the amateur astronomer or hobbyist needs to explore the heavens.
• Edmund Scientific Star and Planet Locator provides students with a useful, portable, low-tech tool for observing the night sky. 
• Norton’s Star Atlas and Reference Handbook, Twentieth Edition is a combination star atlas and reference that is an excellent resource for students.

 

"What resources do you need for lecture, assessment and review?"

 

Teaching Resources

• Instructor’s Resource Center on CD contains virtually every electronic resource you need to present engaging classroom lectures, including:

º      Text illustrations and tables in a variety of formats

º      Videos

º      Animations and Flash™ tutorials

º      Test generation software and test item file

º      Instructor’s resource manual

º      Questions for the classroom response system

• Comets, an annually updated instructional media kit, contains videos and animations from a wide range of sources including NASA, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and the Space Telescope Science Institute, slides of recent discoveries from observatories worldwide, and the Comets newsletter.

 

Practice and Assessment

• Course Management Systems provide online assessment tools that allow you to create and administer homework, tests, and quizzes online for automatic grading.
• Physlets^®, brief Java applet animations, clearly illustrate concepts from the text paired with critical thinking questions.  Available on the student accelerator CD that comes with the book.

 

"Would your students be interested in an online text that is 50% off the price of the print text?"

• SafariX Textbooks Online is an exciting new choice for students looking to save money. Students can subscribe to the same content online and save up to 50% off the suggested list price of the print text.

  With Astronomy Today, Sixth Edition, trusted authors Eric Chaisson and Steve McMillan communicate their excitement about astronomy and awaken students to the universe around them. Thoroughly updated, the revised edition focuses on the process of scientific discovery and scientific method, making “how we know what we know” a more integral part of the text with attention to clearly and concisely presenting scientific terms to the non-science student. In addition, the authors have taken great care to identify places where they could clarify or simplify an explanation, better define a term, and discuss the process used in making a discovery.  This edition offers the most complete and innovative learning package available for one- or two-semester introductory courses in astronomy.

Eric Chaisson. Eric holds a doctorate in astrophysics from Harvard University, where he spent ten years on the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. For five years, Eric was a Senior Scientist and Director of Educational Programs at the Space Telescope Science Institute and Adjunct Professor of Physics at Johns Hopkins University. He then joined Tufts University, where he is now Professor of Physics, Professor of Education, and Director of the Wright Center for Innovative Science Education. He has written nine books on astronomy, which have received such literary awards as the Phi Beta Kappa Prize, two American Institute of Physics Awards, and Harvard's Smith-Weld Prize for Literary Merit. He has published more than 100 scientific papers in professional journals, and has also received Harvard's Bok Prize for original contributions to astrophysics.

Steve McMillan. Steve holds a bachelor's and master's degree in Mathematics from Cambridge University and a doctorate in Astronomy from Harvard University. He held post-doctoral positions at the University of Illinois and Northwestern University, where he continued his research in theoretical astrophysics, star clusters, and numerical modeling. Steve is currently Distinguished Professor of Physics at Drexel University and a frequent visiting researcher at Princeton's Institute for Advanced Study and the University of Tokyo. He has published more than 50 scientific papers in professional journals.

Astronomy Today 4/e (ISBN 0-13-091542-4) is the more comprehensive text by this: proven team of authors. This twenty-eight chapter text begins with the foundations of the history of science and physics as they relate to astronomy (Part One), then proceeds with an "Earth-out" organization for coverage of the solar system (Part Two), stars and stellar evolution (Part Three), and galaxies and cosmology (Part Four). New with the fourth edition, the book is now available in two paperback splits:

Astronomy Today 4/e: The Solar System (ISBN 0-13-093560-3) covers Part One on foundations (Chapters 1-$); Part Two on the solar system (Chapters 6-15); the Sun chapter (Chapter 16); and the final chapter on life in the universe (Chapter 28).

Astronomy Today 4/e: Stars and Galaxies (ISBN 0-13-093571-9) includes Part One on foundations (Chapters 1-S); Part Three on stars and stellar evolution (Chapters 16-22); and Part Four on galaxies and cosmology (Chapters 23-28).

Astronomy: A Beginner's Guide to the Universe 4/e (ISBN 0-13-100727-0) is the authors' briefer text. It covers the same scope of material in the same order as Astronomy Today 4/e, but with less detail and in fewer chapters (eighteen instead of twenty-eight) and fewer pages.
