Dear Professor Spagna:
Thank you for taking a few moments to speak with me this morning
on the phone, and your offer of assistance- I appreciate it very much.
As I mentioned this morning, I am looking for a professor or
graduate student who would be interested in contributing some web
materials over the next several weeks (compensated), to an introductory,
1-semester Astronomy text. The text in question is In Quest of the
Universe by Karl Kuhn, 2/ed., which my company recently acquired. Below
is a description of the work in question.
More than one person may work on this, if 2 persons wished to
split the work, one taking the Starlinks, and one taking the
end-of-chapter exercises. I would appreciate it if you could copy me on
your email, or otherwise let me know that you have forwarded this
message. I can be reached by phone at: 508-443-5000 x8138, and email
at: katht@jbpub.com (contact info below as well). Please feel free to
call or email me at any time.
Sincerely,
Kathryn Twombly
Project Editor

Starlinks Web sites which the students will access for recently updated
and/or additional material related to that covered in the chapter.
There will be 2-4 web sites per chapter, the topics will be provided by
the author.
The information that will be needed is: a Web Site title and URL, and a
brief description of the site, to put it in context so the student will
know why they are going to it.
End of Chapter Questions/Exercises to be used as homework assignments.
The information that will be needed are 2 web sites per chapter with
questions and/or net activities, that the instructor can require as
homework. Requested from the contributor will be the Web Site URL,
description of the question or exercise, question/exercise, screen shot
of the site's homepage, and the webmaster's address (for permissions
requests). Also, the contributor will be requested to Star* exercises
he/she thinks might be valuable on a CD- we would like to capture some
screen images and put them on a CD, so the instructor can give an
example(s) in class, and be assured the information will be there.
