Exact Solutions of Einstein's Field Equations
By: Stephani, Hans; Kramer, Dietrich; MacCallum, Malcolm; Hoenselaers, Cornelius; Herlt, Eduard; Landshoff, P. V.; Nelson, D. R.; Sciama, D. W.; Weinberg, S.
Published by: Cambridge University Press
A completely revised and updated edition of this classic text, covering important new methods and many recently discovered solutions. This book gives a comprehensive review of all known solutions of Einstein's field equations. Indispensable for those working on exact solutions in relativity or using them in physical or mathematical problems.

Exploring the Moon
By: Harland, David M.
Published by: Springer New York
David Harland opens with a review of the robotic probes, namely the Rangers which returned television before crashing into the Moon, the Surveyors which 'soft landed' in order to investigate the nature of the surface, and the Lunar Orbiters which mapped prospective Apollo landing sites. He then outlines the historic landing by Apollo 11 in terms of what was discovered, and how over the next several missions the program was progressively geared up to enable the final three missions each to spend three days on comprehensive geological investigations. He concludes with a review of the robotic spacecraft that made remote-sensing observations of the Moon. Although aimed at the enthusiast, and can be read as an adventure in exploration, the book develops the scientific theme of lunar geology, and therefore will be of use as background reading for undergraduate students of planetary sciences. In addition, with the prospect of a resumption of human missions, it will help journalists understand what Apollo achieved after the 'flags and footprints' of the Apollo 11 landing in July1969 and will commemorate the fortieth anniversary of that momentous event. Highlighted as a "Commemorative Edition" on the cover, this second edition will have a new Foreword by one of the original astronauts and a short extra section at the end previewing the prospect of a renewal of human exploration of the Moon. It will include new extra high quality graphics which are only now available and 32 pages of colour illustrations.

Finite-Temperature Field Theory
By: Kapusta, Joseph I.; Gale, Charles; Landshoff, P. V.; Nelson, D. R.; Weinberg, S.
Published by: Cambridge University Press
Thoroughly updated and extended, this new edition develops the basic formalism and theoretical techniques for studying relativistic field theory at finite temperature and density. It covers renormalization, linear response theory, spontaneous symmetry breaking, lattice gauge theory, and nucleation theory. Applications to astrophysics, cosmology, and relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions are also included.

Fluid Dynamics and Dynamos in Astrophysics and Geophysics
By: Soward, Andrew M.
Published by: CRC
The increasing power of computer resources along with great improvements in observational data have led to rapid advances in astrophysical fluid dynamics in recent years. Bringing together geophysicists, astrophysicists, and experimenters, this book reviews the current status of the field and provides balanced coverage of all three of these areas. Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), including MHD turbulence, the dynamo problem, and some unique laboratory experiments, receives the particular attention of many of the book's international contributors, and throughout the book, the authors illustrate the symbiotic relation between theory and observation.

From Dust To Stars
By: Schulz, Norbert
Published by: Springer
Studies of stellar formation in galaxies have a profound impact on our understanding of the present and the early universe. The book describes complex physical processes involved in the creation of stars and during their young lives. It illustrates how these processes reveal themselves from radio wavelengths to high energy X-rays and gamma -rays, with special reference towards high energy signatures. Several sections devoted to key analysis techniques demonstrate how modern research in this field is pursued.
