Gravitational Physics of Stellar and Galactic Systems (Cambridge Monographs on Mathematical Physics) - Softcover
Synopsis
This text describes the gravitational interactions and evolution of astronomical systems on all scales, from small groups of stars through galaxies and clusters of galaxies to the Universe itself. In a rapidly developing area of astronomy, it is the first comprehensive treatise on the subject to be published since the early 1960s. Concentrating on the basic physics, at a graduate student level, it also develops many astronomical applications in considerable detail. The book is self-contained. Most results are derived from preceding ones in a straightforward way. It is written to bring out the physical content behind the mathematical formulae, and contains a number of exercises and suggestions for research topics. Bibliographies with nearly 300 selected references provide gateways into the literature.

Review
' ... the author achieves a ery nice balance between mathematics, physics and astronomy as well as between the reality and simplicity of the models discussed.' Classical and Quantum Gravity
' ... eminently readable. It is written throughout in an engaging style with a clear logical development ... All this adds up to a beautifully presented account ... it will be much appreciated by both practising astronomers and beginning graduate students in astronomy.' The Times Higher Education Supplement
' ... a beautifully written text on stellar physics and on dynamics ... The author has produced a work of literature, indispensible to anyone working on studies of stellar and galactic systems.' New Scientist
