Encyclopedia of Astronomy and Astrophysics
Attractively priced astrophysical reference work contains (in alphabetical sequence) 41 essays by diverse experts, which collectively review the observational, theoretical and instrumental essentials of the field in its present state. Intended to serveprimarily the needs of advanced undergraduates, beginning graduate students and general scientific readers. Essential mathematical material is presented, and though the volume is illustrated it cannot (unlike some others) be considered a "picture book". Carefully written, cleanly edited and produced, serious in tone; a useful (and unusually engaging) contribution to the reference literature. (NW) Annotation c.
