About This Product
***PLEASE REVIEW, FROM PRIOR ED*** Fascinating, engaging and extremely visual, Seeds/Backman/Wegryn’s “Foundations of Astronomy,” emphasizes the scientific method as it guides students to answer two fundamental questions: "What are we?" and "How do we know?" In addition to exploring the newest developments and latest discoveries in the exciting field of astronomy, the authors discuss the interplay between evidence and hypothesis, providing both factual information and a conceptual framework for understanding the logic of science. The text is available with WebAssign, the powerful digital solution that enriches the teaching and learning experience. It includes Virtual Astronomy Labs 3.0 -- a set of 20 interactive activities that combine analysis of real astronomical data with robust simulations -- providing a true online laboratory experience for your Introductory Astronomy course.
