Gedanken Experiment

04 10 06 Fundamental Astronomy

Springer 3rd Edition, eds. Karttunen, Kröger, Oja, Poutanen and Donner ISBN 3540609369

This introductory survey began as lecture notes from a class that Oja taught in the late 1980's in Helsinki. Additional work was added by other Finnish academics as well as the editors who were also responsible for the translations to English and German. The book is concise and clear and is a good refresher text. An updated 5th edition is due out this October.
