Review: Astrophysics without calculus - Are you an amateur astronomer with a scientific or technical background or bent? Would you like to study a college-level introductory astronomy text just for the fun of it? Do you wish for an approach that's not just qualitative, like the majority of American texts, which employ minimal mathematics and mostly confine their more quantitative treatments of subjects as elaborations in a box or sidebar? Do you want a book that fearlessly dives into quantitative analysis of the physics of astronomy – astrophysics – within the main text? Are you a college instructor looking for such a text? If so, and your ambitions extend into differential and integral calculus, then look for a book with "astrophysics" in its title. If you're looking for the middle road, I'd say this is the book for you. To me, it looks like astrophysics without calculus. It's lushly graphical, like all contemporary introductory texts for non-physics majors, and comprehensibly written with the neophyte in mind. But it has considerable depth and a wealth of detail, and looks to me to be a suitable text for a first course in astronomy/astrophysics pitched at those who will go on to take a major or a minor in the subject. Or for an amateur astronomer who'd take such a course if they were back at school. Parenthetically, the spiral binding is a real plus. It’s hard as the devil to get a conventionally bound textbook to lie flat on the table in front of you, or to hold in your lap, but this style is manageable in any situation.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Comprehensive and detailed but never dense.
*by A***R on 30 December 2018*

This book is an excellent, comprehensive, but surprisingly easy to read. It is lavishly illustrated with many notes describing the science or the scientists in greater detail. I assume this book to be a standard textbook but it doesn't always feel like it. If I have any criticism it is that the paperback version is too "soft" so it needs to sit on a desk or similar to be comfortable- definitely not easy to read on the train.
