Book SynopsisHigh-energy astrophysics covers cosmic phenomena that occur under the most extreme physical conditions. This 2007 textbook is a self-contained, relevant exploration of this exciting field. Written for undergraduate students studying high-energy astrophysics, each chapter ends with exercises.Trade ReviewReview of the hardback: '… it makes an easy transition to the applications of physics to astrophysics … The book is well constructed and develops derivations and explanations that are presented in logical sequences of thought with an ease characteristic of few books of its kind …This is an excellent choice for the bookshelves of current and aspiring astrophysicists … Summing Up: Highly recommended.' Choice Reviews OnlineReview of the hardback: 'It could easily form the basis of more than one undergraduate course and should be required reading for anyone working in high-energy astrophysics. The style and layout are clear and all for a reasonable price. Highly recommended.' The ObservatoryReview of the hardback: '… In principle, this book contains everything a beginner in this topic needs to know … The text is written in a very coherent way, physics equations are explicitly derived, physics students will appreciate that. … The authors are not only internationally known for their contributions to high-energy astrophysics, they are also actively teaching at Jacobs University Bremen. This synergy guarantees a pedagogically well-thought-out textbook. It is highly recommended to all physics students that want to engage in high-energy astrophysics … It should not be missing from any library.'

Cambridge University Press Astrophysics Processes
Book SynopsisWritten for advanced undergraduates and graduate students, this book provides physical explanations of twelve fundamental astrophysical processes underlying a wide range of phenomena in astronomy. It contains tutorial figures, review exercises, and step-by-step mathematical and physical development, providing a stepping stone to more specialized books and primary literature.Trade Review'The author's engaging writing style makes this a very enjoyable book. Each topic starts with interesting observational material, then goes to a discussion of the physical concepts, amplified by mathematics, and very good figures, and then ties it up by finishing with more observational applications, either solving the problem posed at the beginning of the chapter or presenting new ones. This is a perfect book for seniors.' Marc L. Kutner, author of Astronomy: A Physical Perspective'A lucid introduction to a selection of basic topics in astronomy, explaining the physics behind the astrophysics. Radiative processes are treated with just the right level of rigor that students learn how to carry out useful computations while developing their physical intuition. I have successfully used portions of this book for my first-year graduate class.' Eugene Chiang, Associate Professor of Astronomy, University of California, Berkeley'This excellent book takes 12 areas of astrophysics, starting with Newton and Kepler and ending with gravitational lensing and sets out the underlying physics in clear fashion. … Highly recommended.' Guy Pooley, The ObservatoryReview of Astronomy Methods, also by Hale Bradt: '… a brilliant addition to the pedagogy. It is timely, focused, well written, and at the appropriate level … Astronomy Methods will be useful to all students of astronomy and astrophysics, irrespective of whether they intend to specialize in observational astronomy. The material can be adapted easily for various related courses, which makes the book even more valuable.' Physics TodayTable of ContentsPreface; 1. Kepler, Newton, and the mass function; 2.
