Synopsis
Pathways to Astronomy breaks down introductory astronomy into its component parts. The huge and fascinating field of astronomy is divided into 86 units. These units are woven together to flow naturally for the person who wants to read the text like a book, but it is also possible to assign them in different orders, or skip certain units altogether. Professors can customize the units to fit their course needs. They can select individual units for exploration in lecture while assigning easier units for self-study, or they can cover all the units in full depth in a content-rich course. With the short length of units, students can easily digest the material covered in an individual unit before moving onto the next unit.

    It's my VERY FAVORITE in the world - and I've used this cologne for over half a century... from the original to this copycat cologne. Thank you a zillion times for having this for me. (& I just hope I live long enough to use all the remaining bottles I have)
