Recommended Textbooks:
Some students find it useful to have
a copy of a general
introductory astronomy textbook to use as a reference. These generally contain far too much
information placed in too little context, but the index is generally very
thorough and can be useful, for example, when you’ve read about interpreting
the Doppler shift of galaxies but aren’t quite sure what the Doppler shift is. Many such texts will be available on reserve
at the main desk in Briggs library.
