Book Description
Astronomy describes the workings of the universe using the more basic language of physics--hence the science of 'astrophysics'. A proper understanding of phenomena like black holes, quasars and extrasolar planets requires that we understand the physics underlying all of astrophysics. This book develops these basics to provide a fuller, richer understanding of the science of astrophysics and the important astronomical phenomena it describes. The user of this book will gain a greater appreciation of the connection between physics and astronomy and a better understanding of both.
Review
"[This books] will be useful to all students of astronomy and astrophysics, irrespective of whether they intened to specialize in observational astronomy. The material can be adapted easily for various related courses, which makes the book even more valuable." Physics Today, T. Padmanabhan

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. This book develops the basic underlying physics required for a fuller, richer understanding of the science of astrophysics and the important astronomical phenomena it describes. The cosmos manifests phenomena in which physics can appear in its most extreme, and therefore more insightful, forms. A proper understanding of phenomena like black holes, quasars and extrasolar planets requires that we understand the physics that underlies all of astrophysics. Consequently, developing astrophysical concepts from fundamental physics has the potential to achieve two goals: to derive a better understanding of astrophysical phenomena from first principles and to illuminate the physics from which the astrophysics is developed. To that end, astrophysical topics are grouped according to the relevant areas of physics. The book is ideal as a text for graduate and advanced undergraduate students as well as a reference for established researchers. Graduate textbook in astrophysics. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9780521819671
