TEXTBOOKS
We're Texas: Astronomy
Don Winget and I have adapted an astronomy textbook for non-major undergraduates from a text originally authored by Rob Robbins and Bill Jefferys. I contributed a section at the end of each chapter localizing the subject matter to research being done at UT-Austin, and the textbook retails for significantly less than most introductory astronomy texts.
