High-Redshift Galaxies
Springer 2009; US$ 84.99Presents a comprehensive account of the scientific results on high-redshift galaxies. Summarizing the observational data, this book describes the observational methods which made it possible to study these very distant and extremely faint objects. It is suitable for students interested in extragalactic astronomy. more...
Galaxy Morphology and Classification
Cambridge University Press 1998; US$ 77.00A concise and up-to-date guide to the shape of galaxies and how they can be classified, by one of the pioneers of the field. more...
Galactic Dynamics
Princeton University Press 2011; US$ 90.00Since it was first published in 1987, Galactic Dynamics has become the most widely used advanced textbook on the structure and dynamics of galaxies and one of the most cited references in astrophysics. Now, in this extensively revised and updated edition, James Binney and Scott Tremaine describe the dramatic recent advances in this subject, making... more...
Relativistic Jets from Active Galactic Nuclei
Wiley 2011; US$ 145.00Written by a carefully selected consortium of researchers working in the field, this book fills the gap for an up-to-date summary of the observational and theoretical status. As such, this monograph includes all used wavelengths, from radio to gamma, the FERMI telescope, a history and theory refresher, and jets from gamma ray bursts. For astronomers,... more...
Alla scoperta delle galassie (Le Stelle) (Italian Edition)
Springer 2010; US$ 31.99Tradotto dall'originale francese "A la decouverte des galaxies", il testo, centrato sullo studio delle galassie, č supportato da numerose fotografie spettacolari ottenute dai pių recenti telescopi e satelliti. E' indirizzato a un pubblico assai ampio, che include studenti degli ultimi anni dei licei o dei primi anni delle facolta scientifiche, astronomi... more...
The Formation of Galactic Bulges

Proceedings of the Galactic Center Workshop 2002
Wiley 2008; US$ 215.00Our knowledge of the environment of the nucleus of our galaxy has been greatly enhanced, by more extensive and sensitive observations at radio and infrared wavelengths, the advent of high resolution x-ray imaging and spectroscopy, and considerable theoretical activity to understand the nucleus and its components, and their activity. The Galactic Center... more...
Shrouds of the Night
Springer 2009; US$ 31.99The Milky Way has captivated the mind of multitudes ever since the beginning of time. Particularly striking are its apparent dusty gaping voids.

Picturing the Cosmos
University of Minnesota Press 2012; US$ 60.00The vivid, dramatic images of distant stars and galaxies taken by the Hubble Space Telescope have come to define how we visualize the cosmos. In their immediacy and vibrancy, photographs from the Hubble show what future generations of space travelers might see should they venture beyond our solar system. But their brilliant hues and precise details... more...
Chemical Evolution of Galaxies
Springer 2012; US$ 99.99The term "chemical evolution of galaxies" refers to the evolution of abundances of chemical species in galaxies, which is due to nuclear processes occurring in stars and to gas flows into and out of galaxies. This book deals with the chemical evolution of galaxies of all morphological types (ellipticals, spirals and irregulars) and stresses... more...
