Description
We must attempt to stay abreast of scientific endeavors to be conscientious members of society. Colleges have realized this need and have included courses in the natural sciences as part of the general education requirements for all degree candidates. However, a significant number of college educators feel that many students are permitted to fulfull their science requirements by enrolling in classes that are too narrow in scope to encompass most of the major scientific fields. This textbook attends to all the major areas of the physical sciences and thus provides the student an opportunity to learn about those principal topics that constitute the study of our physical world ... Major goal is to help students obtain an understanding of the scientific enterprise beyond their present level of knowledge. The fields of astronomy, chemistry, earth sciences and physics are presented in an interrelated approach ... Attempted to catch the interest of the nonscience major for whom this text is primarily intended.-Pref.
