Three astrophysicists from Leeds University diverge from many studies by focusing not on a particular source of radiation, but on a set of phenomena produced by a wide range of them. The underlying pictures required for such a study, they say, are simple, limited in type, and highly adaptable, and thus suitable to introduce non-specialists to a large swathe of astrophysics from a unifying perspective: star- forming regions, supernova, the creation of structure in the early universe, and other hot topics.--SciTech Book News Three astrophysicists from Leeds University diverge from many studies by focusing not on a particular source of radiation, but on a set of phenomena produced by a wide range of them.
