Customer Reviews
User popularity level:  out of 5 stars

Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - Received book promptly
Very good transaction overall. Book was described as new, however was not wrapped in the plastic,instead the plastic was thrown inside the box.



Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - Textbook
This textbook was in good shape too bad it wasn't the edition I wanted but that is my fault i guess.



Rated by buyers 3 out of 5 stars - Can be hard to understand
This book is interesting enough, but was very hard to understand sometimes. At times during reading i would have to look up several words just to try to grasp what the writer was talking about. I would reccomend this book to someone who is seeking a more in depth look into Astronomy. Gives lots of good information and comes with a very imformative computer program that provides several tutorials on how to use it. Good book, too indepth for this reader.



Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - HOU Required Text
This book is great. Along with the media it serves as a guide to understand the most boring class you will ever take in GSP @ NYU!



Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - It does the job of teaching about astronomy
This book does the job it is designed to do, and it is written well, so it is relatively easy to understand. I recommend this book.
