In Quest of the Universe

Updated and revised, the new Fifth Edition of In Quest of the Universe is a comprehensive introduction to astronomy designed for nonscience majors. The book uses the development of astronomical theories, both historical and current, to show how science works. The authors take a planets-first approach, engaging students with an exploration of our own solar system before moving on to the stars and then to distant galaxies.
