Introduction to Spectropolarimetry
Cambridge University Press 2003; US$ 50.00Spectropolarimetry embraces the most complete and detailed measurement and analysis of light, as well as its interaction with matter. This book provides an introductory overview of the area, and will be a valuable reference for graduates and researchers in astrophysics, solar physics and optics. more...
Spontaneous Current Sheets in Magnetic Fields
Oxford University Press 1994; US$ 169.99Expanding upon the ideas first proposed in his seminal book Cosmical Magnetic Fields, Eugene N. Parker here offers the first in-depth treatment of the magnetohydrodynamic theory of spontaneous magnetic discontinuities. In detailing his theory of the spontaneous formation of tangential discontinuities (current sheets) in a magnetic field embedded in... more...
The Many Scales in the Universe
Springer 2006; US$ 139.99Gathers the invited talks to the XIII JENAM conference. This book is accompanied by a CD-ROM, including the remaining contributions of the meeting in PDF format, hence opening a panorama of what is going on in astrophysics. more...
Very High Energy Gamma-Ray Astronomy
CRC Press 2003; US$ 199.95Gamma rays of the highest energies are a challenge for the experimentalist to detect and the theoretician to explain. This book presents the techniques, observations and the theories of this expanding frontier. more...
From Eudoxus to Einstein
Cambridge University Press 2004; US$ 65.00Since Babylonian times, a great deal of effort has been put into trying to predict and explain the motions of the sun, moon, and planets. This book describes the theories of planetary motion that have been developed through the ages, emphasizing the interaction between progress in astronomy and mathematics. more...
The Restless Universe
Oxford University Press 2002; US$ 44.99This title tells the story of the development and launch of a major space-based telescope, and explains the discoveries of the nature of the universe in the X-ray spectre. The author looks at the brief history of X-ray astronomy to explore what can and has been learnt by using X-ray. more...
