It must have been great stuff, the first-year physics course on planets,
stars and galaxies that Keith Holliday taught at the University of Strathclyde.
His excellent Introductory Astronomy is based on the lecture notes. Useful
figures, worked examples, additional problems, and a perfect balance between
length, clarity, scientific rigour and cost make this the ideal student
purchase. Published by Wiley, £14.99, ISBN 0471983322.
