Cambridge University Press Theory of Black Hole Accretion Discs
Book SynopsisThis authoritative volume was the first to present a comprehensive and up-to-date review of our new understanding of accretion disks around black holes. It presents review papers from leading world authorities who gathered at an international conference in Reykjavik, Iceland. It will be of key interest to graduate students and researchers in astrophysics and theoretical physics.Trade ReviewReview of the hardback: '… the editors should be congratulated on assembling a collection of high-quality articles'.

Cambridge University Press Textbook on Spherical Astronomy
Book SynopsisThis well-established textbook gives a general but comprehensive introduction to positional astronomy. Originally based on the author's lecture courses at Cambridge University, it is intended primarily for undergraduates, but, due to its comprehensive nature, it is a very useful reference text for research workers in many branches of astronomy and space physics. The author considers the night sky as the celestial sphere and powerfully exploits the methods of spherical geometry. Most problems in which the precise determination of a heavenly body's position in the sky is important are considered in theoretical detail, and the necessary formulae are derived to a precision that is sufficient for all but the most specialist purposes. The present revision has ensured that the terminology and treatment correspond precisely to current astronomical practice. A guiding principle has been to re-establish compatibility with the Astronomical Ephemeris and, to a lesser extent, with the fuller explanTable of Contents1. Spherical trigonometry; 2.
