Critics Review
Winner of the 2009 PROSE Award in Cosmology & Astronomy, Association of American Publishers
Winner of the 2009 PROSE Award in Cosmology & Astronomy, Association of American Publishers “The well-written work provides an excellent balance between relevant graduate physics and observational summaries of key high-energy astrophysical phenomena, such as pulsars, black holes, and active galactic nuclei. The explanations are lucid and concise, and the mathematical detail is well suited to the intended audience, primarily graduate students in astrophysics.”–Choice
