Dramatic galactic views illustrate this comprehensive title in the new Worlds Beyond series. A cursory description of how the ancients observed and measured the stars leads into chapters about the sun, varieties of stars and the spaces between them, the Milky Way and surrounding galaxies, and theories about how the universe began and how it will end. Miller's text is thorough and substantial, yet his clear examples make the concepts accessible; he refers to the rising of a loaf of baking bread to explain how stars move apart in an expanding universe.
Real-world applications - Integrates real - world analysis and design applications throughout the text. Examples include: the sun - seeker system, the liquid - level control, dc - motor control, and space - vehicle payload control. * Examples and problems - Includes an abundance of illustrative examples and problems. * Marginal notes throughout the text highlight important points.
