Introduction to Astronomy

In this course, students will study the physical characteristics of celestial bodies from our closest neighbor, the moon, to the most distant galaxies. Students will be able to explain how past astronomers investigated the universe and the theories they developed to explain their observations. Students will familiarize themselves with recent observations and discover the foundations for modern astronomical theories. Astronomical observations will be applied through activities, laboratories, and simulations.

College Physics

While physics can seem challenging, its true quality is the sheer simplicity of fundamental physical theories–theories and concepts that can enrich your view of the world around you. COLLEGE PHYSICS, Tenth Edition, provides a clear strategy for connecting those theories to a consistent problem-solving approach, carefully reinforcing this methodology throughout the text and connecting it to real-world examples.

World Prehistory: A Brief Introduction

Written by one of the leading archaeological writers in the world -― in a simple, jargon-free narrative style ―- this brief, well-illustrated account of the major developments in the human past makes world prehistory uniquely accessible to complete beginners.

Nutrition

Six of the ten leading causes of death in America are diet-related. In this course students will learn the macronutrients (carbohydrates, fats, proteins) and micronutrients (vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals) that promote optimum health. Students will examine digestion and metabolism of food; energy balance and weight control; use of exercise as related to energy balance; how current culture influences food choices and health; and risks of obesity, diabetes, and other nutrition related, prevalent diseases. Students will design an individual, healthy diet, discuss the role of government in the education of people, use the scientific method to analyze dietary claims; and learn basic food safety and bio-engineering. Designed for students with little or no biology or chemistry background.
