Description
This text is one of two splits from Seeds's FOUNDATIONS OF ASTRONOMY. It contains the introductory and historical chapters from FOUNDATIONS, as well as all the planets chapters and the chapter on extraterrestrial life. This book teaches planetary astronomy not just by presenting facts, but by building a conceptual framework and then letting the facts fit into that framework. It uses astronomy to show how science works and how physical laws prescribe the solar system and the universe.
