This fully revised and updated text is a comprehensive introduction to astronomical objects and phenomena. By applying some basic physical principles to a variety of situations, students will learn how to relate everyday physics to the astronomical world. Starting with the simplest objects, the text contains explanations of how and why astronomical phenomena occur, and how astr...(展开全部)

"This is a truly astonishing book, invaluable for anyone with an interest in astronomy." Physics Bulletin "Just the thing for a first year university science course." Nature "This is a beautiful book in both concept and execution." Sky & Telescope

For one-semester Introduction to Astronomy courses. With Astronomy: A Beginner,s Guide, Seventh Edition, the briefer version of their two seminal textbooks, trusted authors Eric Chaisson and Steve McMillan continue to emphasize three major themes: the process of science, the size and scale of the universe, and the evolution of the cosmos. In the Seventh Edition, Chaisson and Mc...(展开全部)

Unlike most physical chemistry texts, modern physical chemistry research is based on quantum mechanics, and this state-of-the-art approach is the one adopted by McQuarrie and Simon. Quantum theory is introduced at the outset, and the molecular viewpoint of quantum chemistry informs the authors' investigation of physical chemistry's other main topic ares - thermodynamics and che...(展开全部)

Randal E.Bryant　1973年于密歇根大学（University of Michigan）获得学士学位，随即就读于麻省理工学院的研究生院，并在1981年获计算机博士学位。他在加州理工学院（California Institute of Technology）做了三年助教，从1984年至今一直是卡内基-梅隆大学的教师。他现在是计算机科学的大学教授和计算机科学学院的院长。他同时还受邀于电子和计算机工程系。 他从事本科生和研究生计算机系统方面课程的教学超过30年。在讲授计算机体系结构课程多年后，他开始把关注点从如何设计计算机转移到程序员如何在更好的了解系统的情况下编写出更有效和更可靠的程序。他和O’Hallaron教授一起在卡内基梅隆大学开设了15-213“计算机系统导论”课程，那便是此书的基础。他还教授一些有关算法、编程、计算机网络和VLSI...(展开全部)
