The Galaxies of the Local Group
By: van den Bergh, Sidney; King, Andrew; Lin, Douglas; Maran, Stephen; Pringle, Jim; Ward, Martin
Published by: Cambridge University Press
A masterful summary of what is currently known about the Local Group (thirty-five member galaxies that includes the Milky Way), and expertly places this knowledge in the wider context of understanding galaxy formation and evolution, the cosmic distance scale, and the early Universe. Includes many important previously unpublished results.

Giant Planets of Our Solar System
By: Irwin, Patrick G.J.
Published by: Springer Berlin Heidelberg
Reviews the state of knowledge of the atmospheres of the giant gaseous planets: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. This work reviews the theories of their formation and contrasts their observed temperature, composition and cloud structures and compares with simple thermodynamic, radiative transfer and dynamical models.

Globular Clusters
By: Richtler, Tom; Larsen, Søren
Published by: Springer
The principal question of whether and how globular clusters can contribute to a better understanding of galaxy formation and evolution is perhaps the main driving force behind the overall endeavour of studying globular cluster systems. This work covers the scientific knowledge of the field.

Gravitational N-Body Simulations
By: Aarseth, Sverre J.; Landshoff, P. V.; Nelson, D. R.; Sciama, D. W.; Weinberg, S.
Published by: Cambridge University Press
This book presents basic methods for numerical simulation of gravitational systems, demonstrating how to develop clear and elegant algorithms. It explains the fundamental mathematical tools needed to describe the dynamics of a large number of mutually attractive particles, and the techniques needed to model various known planetary and astrophysical phenomena.

Habitability and Cosmic Catastrophes
By: Horneck, Gerda; McKay, Christopher P.
Published by: Springer
It is known today that the evolution of life on Earth was neither a steady progression nor uniform. There were several periods of mass extinction. These catastrophic events played a crucial role in the rise of new species. The author discusses whether and how such events could have occurred in the recently found extrasolar planetary systems.

Handbook of Shock Waves, 3 Volume Set
By: Ben-Dor, Gabi; Igra, Ozer; Elperin, Tov
Published by: Academic Press (Elsevier Science & Technology Books)
The Handbook of Shock Waves contains a comprehensive, structured coverage of research topics related to shock wave phenomena including shock waves in gases, liquids, solids, and space. Shock waves represent an extremely important physical phenomena which appears to be of special practical importance in three major fields: compressible flow (aerodynamics), materials science, and astrophysics. Shock waves comprise a phenomenon that occurs when pressure builds to force a reaction, i.e. sonic boom that occurs when a jet breaks the speed of sound. This Handbook contains experimental, theoretical, and numerical results which never before appeared under one cover; the first handbook of its kind. The Handbook of Shock Waves is intended for researchers and engineers active in shock wave related fields. Additionally, R&D establishments, applied science & research laboratories and scientific and engineering libraries both in universities and government institutions. As well as, undergraduate and graduate students in fluid mechanics, gas dynamics, and physics.
