abstract = {Now in its sixth edition this successful undergraduate
textbook gives a well-balanced and comprehensive
introduction to the topics of classical and modern
astronomy. While emphasizing both the astronomical concepts
and the underlying physical principles, the text provides a
sound basis for more profound studies in the astronomical
sciences. The chapters on galactic and extragalactic
astronomy as well as cosmology were extensively modernized
in the previous edition. In this new edition they have been
further revised to include more recent results. The long
chapter on the solar system has been split into two parts:
the first one deals with the general properties, and the
other one describes individual objects. A new chapter on
exoplanets has been added to the end of the book next to the
chapter on astrobiology. In response to the fact that
astronomy has evolved enormously over the last few years,
only a few chapters of this book have been left unmodified.
Long considered a standard text for physical science majors,
Fundamental Astronomy is also an excellent reference and
entrée for dedicated amateur astronomers. For their benefit
the introductory chapter has been extended to give a brief
summary of the different types of celestial objects.},
