 | | Nucleosynthesis and Chemical Evolution of Galaxies
2nd Edition
Bernard E. J. Pagel
£45.00
A lucid introduction for advanced undergraduates and graduate students, and an authoritative overview for researchers and professional scientists.
From reviews of the first edition:
'Pagel covers all these aspects of nucleosynthesis and links them together to form a coherent picture of the way galaxies' compositions vary with time. For its stated purpose as a text book for graduate students, it is excellent.'

The Physics of Astronomical Phenomena
Hale Bradt
£42.00
Bridges the gap between physics and astronomy texts for undergraduate and graduate students.
'The author’s engaging writing style makes this a very enjoyable book. Each topic starts with interesting observational material, then goes to a discussion of the physical concepts, amplified by mathematics, and very good figures, and then ties it up by finishing with more observational applications, either solving the problem posed at the beginning of the chapter or presenting new ones. This is a perfect book for seniors.'

| | Astrophysical Flows
James E. Pringle, Andrew King
£47.00
Graduate textbook on astrophysical fluid dynamics for graduate students in astrophysics, physics and applied mathematics.
'[the book] emphasizes the essential physics behind the mathematical results. … the authors … give a flavour of all [the] problems without getting into all the mathematical complexities of a full treatment. … in each case [they] give a physical discussion of the problem, to explain what result one expects to emerge from the mathematics … Most chapters contain references for further in-depth reading on the topics outlined in the text, and some more detailed material is also present in the end-of-chapter problems … this is a very useful book for new graduate students and it also gives new insights to those of us with more experience; I wish it had been available when I was learning the subject.'
