Book Synopsis

Fascinating, engaging and extremely visual, Seeds/Backman/Wegryn's "Foundations of Astronomy," is renowned for its current coverage, reader-friendly presentation and detailed yet clear explanations. The authors' goals are to help you use astronomy to understand science, and use science to answer two fundamental questions: "What are we?" and "How do we know?" The text is available with WebAssign, the powerful digital solution that enriches the teaching and learning experience. It includes Virtual Astronomy Labs 3.0 -- a set of 20 interactive activities that combine analysis of real astronomical data with robust simulations -- providing a true online laboratory experience for your Introductory Astronomy course.

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.
