Stars and Nebulas door William J. Kaufmann
Volume III
This edition contains several different features including: a greater emphasis on stars and galaxies; treatment of the planets one at a time for greater clarity; completely rewritten chapter introductions; "What Do You Think" questions that open each chapter and address specific common student misconceptions; new key-term chapter-ending lists; improved pedagogy including "Foundations" part openers and "Astronomer's Toolboxes"; and a new CD-ROM with full text and art plus new graphics, animations, historical timelines, interviews with prominent astronomers and sky-chart software.… (meer)
This is a really good (if somewhat dated) survey of cosmic and stellar evolution. Kaufmann has a very clear and easily readable style. With this and wikipedia anyone can become conversant with everything we currently know regarding stellar evolution and black holes and their effects upon space-time. Plenty of illustrations in here.
All about the Universe. Purely scientific approach to describe galaxies, planets, stars etc.
