Created with a “student-tested, faculty-approved” approach, ASTRO, Third Canadian Edition is the first and only title that tells the global story of astronomy from a Canadian perspective. Multicultural and interdisciplinary examples range from Inuit, Mesopotamian, Indian, and other non-Western traditions in ancient astronomy to discussions of current developments like CERN, LIGO, and the discovery of Near-Earth Objects. Canadian astronomers and discoveries that have shaped the field are featured throughout, making the subject matter intriguing and more relevant to Canadian students.
