Astrophysics is easy! : a complete introduction for amateur astronomers

Astrophysics is often regarded as incomprehensible without the use of higher mathematics. This book cuts through the difficult mathematics and explains the basics of astrophysics in accessible terms. Using nothing more than plain arithmetic and simple examples, the workings of the universe are outlined in a straightforward yet detailed and easy-to-grasp manner. New theories in astrophysics in the eight years since the first edition are reflected in new and expanded chapters. Includes an observing list for each topic under discussion so observers can actually see for themselves the concepts presented--stars of the spectral sequence, nebulae, galaxies, even black holes.

  • "Astrophysics is often (with some justification) regarded as incomprehensible without the use of higher mathematics. Consequently, many amateur astronomers miss out on some of the most fascinating aspects of the subject. Astrophysics Is Easy! cuts through the difficult mathematics and explains the basics of astrophysics in accessible terms. Using nothing more than plain arithmetic and simple examples, the workings of the universe are outlined in a straightforward yet detailed and easy-to-grasp manner. The original edition of the book was written over eight years ago, and in that time, advances in observational astronomy have led to new and significant changes to the theories of astrophysics. The new theories will be reflected in both the new and expanded chapters. A unique aspect of this book is that, for each topic under discussion, an observing list is included so that observers can actually see for themselves the concepts presented ?stars of the spectral sequence, nebulae, galaxies, even black holes. The observing list has been revised and brought up-to-date in the Second Edition."@en
  • "Molti astrofili ritengono che l'astrofisica sia un argomento difficile, che richiede conoscenze matematiche almeno a livello universitario. Non è necessariamente così. L'approccio quantitativo adottato da Mike Inglis riesce a spiegare tutti gli aspetti dell'astrofisica in termini semplici, evitando i tecnicismi matematici con i quali questa disciplina viene spesso associata. L'astrofisica è facile! inizia considerando il diagramma H-R e altri strumenti di base dell'astrofisico, poi spazia nell'Universo, trattando del mezzo interstellare, delle nebulose, della nascita, dell'evoluzione e della m."
  • "Using a quantitative approach to astrophysics, this book explains the various aspects of astrophysics in simple terms. It features example objects for practical observation at every stage, so that practical astronomers can go and look at the objected or objects under discussion using only commercial amateur equipment."@en
  • "Astrophysics is often - with some justification - regarded as incomprehensible without at least degree-level mathematics. Consequently, many amateur astronomers skip the math, and miss out on the fascinating fundamentals of the subject. In Astrophysics Is Easy! Mike Inglis takes a quantitative approach to astrophysics that cuts through the incomprehensible mathematics, and explains the basics of astrophysics in accessible terms. The reader can view objects under discussion with commercial amateur equipment."
