It presents a mathematical description of fundamental astrophysical radiation processes, including Compton scattering of electrons and photons.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Filling an important gap in a topical and fast-evolving area, this interesting book will be a valuable addition to the astrophysics literature. The scientific content is of a high quality, and includes a notable level of rigor in the derivations.\"\u003cb\u003e—Peter Mészáros, Pennsylvania State University\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"There is definite need for a book on this topic. Dermer and Menon have gathered together a wide range of useful results and the book's rigorous and comprehensive coverage of high-energy processes will be valuable to the advanced researcher in the field. Astronomers working on black-hole processes, jets, AGN, and gamma-ray bursts will want to have this for reference.\"\u003cb\u003e—Andrew Fabian, University of Cambridge\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface xix  Chapter 1.
