Synopsis:

What is our place in the universe? Mike Seeds takes students on the journey to learning how we know what we know about the universe. Seeds enables the student to gain perspective on our planet in relation to the rest of the universe and to understand how a small set of natural processes are responsible for a wide variety of phenomena and a diverse ortment of objects. This text will help students piece together the process of science and use the facts the way real scientists use facts, as springboards to understanding. Innovative pedagogy in this edition stimulates critical thinking and is coupled with Seeds' proven success in writing at a level appropriate for students.

Review: "FOUNDATIONS is a remarkably well written book on introductory astronomy. The figures and diagrams are clear, instructive, visually aesthetic and of exceptionally high quality. I commend the author for this book which includes the latest discoveries in the various fields of astronomy."
