This textbook is designed both for serious srudents of physics and astrophysics and for those with a particular interest in learnign about theoretical cosmology.There are already nany books that survey current observations and descrebe theoretical results; my goal is to complement the exiting literatur...
The book has been written for upper-level undergraduates and beginning graduate students, and its strong pedagogy ensures solid mastery of each process and application. It contains over 150 tutorial figures, numerous examples of astronomical measurements, and 201 exercises. Topics covered include the ...
This text presents the background of the subjects and the latest developments at a level suitable for final year undergraduates and beginning graduate students. The first chapters cover the properties and interactions of elementary particles followed by discussion of the early universe, including ...
from general physics (e.g. contrasting the incompressible nature of water with the dilute interstellar medium). It is an ideal textbook for advanced undergraduates studying the topic and will provide a solid foundation for further (postgraduate) studies into fluid dynamics in physics or astrophysics...
I was part of Imperial’s senior management team and the academic lead for the Centre’s activities. I was responsible for about 180 staff, and the academic director of theImperial Horizonsprogramme (delivering teaching in humanities subjects and languages to over 4500 undergraduates at Imperial);...

So- ing out the really important aspects of an observed phenomenon and using the physics best suited for the case is a formidable problem. There are already several excellent books, oriented toward the interests of astrophysicists, that deal with the magnetohydrodynamics of stellar atmospheres, ...
