- Book Synopsis
- Focusing on two central questions -- "What are we?" and "How Do We Know?" -- HORIZONS: EXPLORING THE UNIVERSE, 14th Edition, helps you understand our place in the universe and how scientists work. Chapter-opening "Guideposts" and a conversational writing style make the content accessible and help you acquire an understanding of the universe (rather than just memorize basic facts); and online resources let you study where and when you want, to best meet your individual learning style.
- About The Author
- Mike Seeds was a professor of physics and astronomy at Franklin and Marshall College (F&M) in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, from 1970 until his retirement in 2001. In 1989 he received F&M College's Lindback Award for Distinguished Teaching. Mike's love for the history of astronomy led him to create upper-level courses on archeoastronomy and on the Copernican Revolution ("Changing Concepts of the Universe"). His research interests focused on variable stars and automation of astronomical telescopes. Mike is coauthor with Dana Backman of FOUNDATIONS OF ASTRONOMY, 14th Edition (2019); STARS AND GALXIES, 10th Edition (2019); THE SOLAR SYSTEM, 10th Edition (2019); and ASTRO, 3rd Edition (2018), all published by Cengage. He was senior consultant for creation of the 20-episode telecourse accompanying his book HORIZONS: EXPLORING THE UNIVERSE.
