Astronomy
Without Mathematics
Description:... Excerpt from Astronomy: Without Mathematics
The great popularity of Denison's "Astronomy without Mathematics" has induced the American publishers to prepare an edition specially adapted for general circulation in the United States. The only changes which have been deemed advisable, are: 1. A few verbal alterations, in cases of accidental errors or inadvertences of style or statement. 2. The addition of an Appendix, to which references are made by foot-notes in the body of the work.
The care bestowed by the author in the preparation and arrangement of his materials, the general accuracy of his text, the simplicity of his explanations, his judicious presentation of interesting topics, and the valuable information embodied in the notes of the American editor, will commend the book to teachers as well as to private readers, and we believe that it will also be found worthy of a place in the libraries of professional astronomers.
