    Astronomy OpenSTAX

    Best Introductory Astronomy text so far, and I have been teaching astronomy to college students for 30 years in a planetarium at a community college. It uses the current technology (video and the web), it is inexpensive as an iBook text, and free as a PDF. It is comprehensive and can be adapted for a one or two semester course.

    Not an audiobook

    If you’re looking for the audio version then don’t buy this. Instead subscribe WebOutLoud ($12/yr) and read from the website openstax.

    Worth the extra price
