Ebook "Schaum's outline of Theory and problems of Astronomy" is to serve as a supplement to a basic astronomy text. Much of the material here is abbreviated, and students should use this book as a guide to the key concepts in modern astronomy, but not as an all-inclusive resource. Topics covered range from planetary astronomy to cosmology, in the modern context. The first chapter covers most of the phsyics required to obtain a basic understanding of astronomical phenomena.

With ebook "Astronomy demystified: A self-teaching guide" you ease into the subject one simple step at a time – at your own speed. Unlike most other books on the topic, general concepts are presented first – and the details follow. In order to make the learning process as clear and simple as possible, heavy-duty math, formulas, and equations are kept at a minimum.

Ebook "Handbook of CCD astronomy (Second edition)" focuses on the use of CCDs in professional observational astronomy, advanced amateur astronomers, and researchers in physics, chemistry, medical imaging, and remote sensing will also find it very valuable. Tables of useful and hard-to-find data, key practical equations, and new exercises round off the book and ensure that it provides an ideal introduction to the practical use of CCDs for graduate students, and a handy reference for more experienced users.

Ebook "Essentials of oceanography (Fifth edition)" was written to provide an interesting, clear, current, and reasonably comprehensive overview of the marine sciences. It was designed for students who are curious about Earth’s largest feature, but who may have little formal background in science. Oceanography is broadly interdisciplinary; students are invited to see the connections between astronomy, economics, physics, chemistry, history, meteorology, geology, and ecology—areas of study they once considered separate.

In ebook "Bad astronomy: Misconceptions and misuses revealed, from astrology to the moon landing “Hoax”" we'll take a look at a whole lot of bad astronomy. Some of the examples will sound familiar, others likely won’t. But they’re all misconceptions I’ve run across, and they’re all fun to talk about and even more fun to think about.

Ebook "Extreme ultraviolet astronomy" describes the development of astronomy in the EUV wavelength range, from the first rocket-based experiments in the late 1960s through to the latest satellite missions. Discussions of the results from the most important space projects are followed by an analysis of the contributions made by EUV astronomy to the study of specific groups of astronomical objects.

In ebook "We are the martians: Connecting cosmology with biology" we are in need, however, of an interdisciplinary volume, because, first of all, we must build this universe with its bricks of matter and energy, and with stars, galaxies, planets and all the rest. We thus have to speak of physics, astronomy, chemistry and biology.

Ebook "On the formation of the most massive stars in the galaxy" presents results of Submillimeter Array (SMA) and Very Large Array (VLA) studies of massive star formation regions in the early stages of ionization, as well as an analysis of numerical simulations of the evolution of these young HII regions. The results favor a picture in which very massive stars form in accretion flows that are partially ionized and that keep accreting material from their environment.

Ebook "Observational astrophysics (Third edition)" focuses on fundamental and sometimes practical limitations on the ultimate performance that an astronomical system may reach, rather than presenting particular systems in detail. Avoiding particulars, it covers the whole of the electromagnetic spectrum, and provides an introduction to the new forms of astronomy becoming possible with gravitational waves and neutrinos. It also treats numerical aspects of observational astrophysics: signal processing, astronomical databases and virtual observatories.

Biology, in the simplest terms, can be defined as the study of all life and living things. Along with physics, chemistry, Earth sciences, and astronomy, it is one of the divisions of the so-called natural sciences, all of which emerged from human curiosity about the composition and workings of the world around us and a deeply instilled desire to find rational explanations for natural phenomena. Ebook The Biology Book: Big ideas simply explained - Part 1 includes contents: Life, food and energy, transport and regulation, brain and behavior, health and disease.
