Unfolding our Universe

Rating:
Summary: WAY TOO MUCH
Review: This book claims to be for a lower-level college Astronomy course. Currently, I am enrolled in a lower level astronomy course and have just completed the book. IN the early chapters the book is supurb, primarily because it relies heavily on definitions, however, further into the book (where it supplies explinations) it becomes extremely confusing. While explaining something the author will quickly spit out 3 or 4 new words which immediately leaves the reader mind boggled. I found myself reading a whole section just to have no clue what it was really trying to say. I recomend this book if you are an advanced astronomy student, yet if you are a beginer or just taking it to satisfy your science core requirment (which I am) stay lightyears away from this book. It starts off great but then throws WAY TOO MUCH at you.
