Cambridge University Press Introduction to HighEnergy Astrophysics
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.'
