Scientific paper

The pace of astronomy is such that a printed textbook is out of date by the time it appears, though a cooperative publisher can allow a book to be six months or so more current than others with the same copyright date. I have endeavored to allow faculty and students to bring their textbook up to date on the day of each lecture or each reading assignment by providing a Web site linked chapter-by-chapter to my text Astronomy: From the Earth to the Universe, 5th edition, 1998. The URL http://www.williams.edu/Astronomy/jay contains updates, new discussions, errata, and links to other sites. The site also allows feedback and links to both author and publisher.
