Have there been developments in astronomy that have led you to teach some topics differently from how you learned them as a student? Then consider The Cosmic Perspective , Second Edition. Astronomical breakthroughs of the last two decades have led to a revolution in the way we understand the universe and to what we can teach our students. This book explores these discoveries and carefully weaves together connecting themes to produce a cosmic context. It's complemented by a next-generation media package that focuses on improving understanding of key concepts your students have the most problems with - like “Phases of the Moon” and “Stellar Evolution.” And, it's backed by a revised and updated version of Carl Sagan's classic TV series Cosmos on video or DVD.

Based on Voyager III, one of the world's most popular planetarium programs, SkyGazer, College Edition, makes it easy for students to explore the wonders of the night sky and their place in the universe through interactive exercises. This dual-platform CD-ROM is included with all new copies of the text. You'll also find suggested Activity Worksheets for SkyGazer, College Edition at www.astronomyplace.com.
