Observational Astronomy
de D. Scott Birney(Ed. Cambridge University Press) Isbn : 0521381991
59.06 €
'Throughout there are useful equations of appropriate complexity and a helpful appendix of some statistical methods and internet resources. Each chapter ends with a set of graduated problems (though without solutions) and further reading suggestions, illustrations, mainly in the form of line drawings, are plentiful and useful for their simplicity.' Astronomy Now'As is fitting for today's e-aware students, the availability of electronic catalogues and databases, such as provided by the CDS in Strasbourg, is highlighted … Along with some quite practical advice on obtaining high-quality data, a student will find particularly helpful the real-world cases of differential photometry, making use of the author's own data, in two up-to-date projects which each present their own particular ch...

An Introduction to the Sun and Stars
de Richard Rhodes, D. C. Heggie, Piet Hut, Keith Mars(Ed. Cambridge University Press) Isbn : 0521837375
141.74 €
'This up-to-the-minute treatment of the universe of stars is the most enjoyable and informative book at this level that I have read. It combines clear physical arguments with excellent illustrations and diagrams, and keen readers can enhance their depth of understanding through the copious worked examples. Spread throughout, the 'biography boxes' give a refreshing human perspective to the science. Good for coffee table or lecture course!' Professor Peter Brand, University of Edinburgh

Introduction to Stellar Winds
de Henny J. G. L. M. Lamers, Joseph P. Cassinelli(Ed. Cambridge University Press) Isbn : 0521593980
135.85 €
'This is an enlightening book, full of vivid physics. It fills a long-standing gap in the astrophysical literature and will stand as the foundation of the rapidly growing field of stellar winds.' Norbert Langer, University of Potsdam'… for those interested in a deeper theoretical understanding of stellar winds, the book is certainly to be recommended.' Rainer Wieler, Meteroritics Planetary Science'This is an excellent textbook. … an invaluable resource … certainly a requisite purchase for anyone starting a study of stellar winds.' Raman Prinja, The Observatory'Stellar winds are ubiquitous, but their properties and mechanisms span an enormous range. This badly needed book by two well known researchers brings together theory and observation to provide an excellent, int...

The Sun as a Star
de Roger John Tayler(Ed. Cambridge University Press) Isbn : 0521464641
141.75 €
'The wealth of data on the Sun makes for rich pickings, and Roger Tayler has not stinted on The Sun as a Star … The book is accurately pitched at the second and third-year university student, concentrating on those aspects of solar physics that help us to understand stars in general … The Sun as a Star clearly originates from a university lecture course. But Tayler has steered well away from the prosaic: what remains is a good, sharp, textbook.' David Hughes, New Scientist
