THE SUPERNOVA STORY (1994)
Published by the Princeton Science Library, Princeton University
Press, 41 William Street, Princeton, NJ 08540
A good read, a good reference, and a good book for introductory astronomy
classes.
From the reviews:
-
"Marschall's supernova book is a superb piece of writing; it reads almost
as easily as a good novel"--Nature
-
"This is a wonderful book about science, about astronomy, and of course,
about supernovae"-- American Journal of Physics
-
"the book provides much more than the story of a single supernova, adding
an overview of the history of astronomy and good insights into how astronomers
work today. Solid, authoritative stuff, comfortably intelligible to the
interested but uninitiated reader...An excellent book from an enthusiast
who knows his subject and conveys his enthusiasm engagingly."-- New
Scientist
