The Magnetic Universe: Geophysical and Astrophysical Dynamo Theory
Günther Rüdiger, Rainer Hollerbach

Wiley-VCH, 2004

Magnetism is one of the most pervasive features of the Universe, with planets, stars and entire galaxies all having associated magnetic fields. All of these fields are generated by the motion of electrically conducting fluids, the so-called dynamo effect. The precise details of what drives the motion, and indeed what the fluid consists of, differ widely though. In this work the authors draw upon their expertise in geophysical and astrophysical ...

The Origin Map: Discovery of a Prehistoric, Megalithic, Astrophysical Map and Sculpture of the Universe

9 reviews
Thomas G. Brophy

AuthorHouse, 2002

The Origin Map
If you have ever heard of the Nabta Circle or are interested in henges,megaliths, ancient maps etc, then Thomas Brophy's book is for you. Not the easiest of reads for the completely uninitiated, but you will soon get his message and you will be astounded by his revelations. This completely rewrites our present concept of prehistory and will certainly challenge the traditionalists. However, that ...

Astrophysical Concepts (Astronomy and Astrophysics Library)

2 reviews
Martin Harwit

Springer, 2006

Comprehensive and interesting
I'm currently teaching a topics class on astrophysics to a collection of (mostly) senior level non-physics majors (engineers, math majors, computer scientists, etc) and had a lot of trouble trying to find an appropriate book. There are not many which are both (a) detailed, (b) broad, and (c) at the appropriate level. Most books for undergraduates are either too focused (i.e. on cosmology) or ...

Concise Catalog of Deep-sky Objects: Astrophysical Information for 500 Galaxies, Clusters and Nebulae

1 review
W.H. Finlay

Springer, 2003

A guide for the knowledgeable astronomer
At last. A Guide to telescopically observable deep-sky objects that also contains astrophysical information about each one all in one book. This could replace hours of cross-referencing a variety of astronomical source books. Especially handy for any owner of today's GoTo telescope, it is also useful for the starhopper, as it contains chart numbers for a couple popular star atlases likely to ...

High-Energy-Density Physics: Fundamentals, Inertial Fusion, and Experimental Astrophysics (Shock Wave and ...
R. Paul Drake

Springer, 2006

The raw numbers of high-energy-density physics are amazing: shock waves at hundreds of km/s (approaching a million km per hour), temperatures of millions of degrees, and pressures that exceed 100 million atmospheres. This book introduces the reader to the fundamental tools and discoveries of high-energy-density physics. It surveys the production of high-energy-density conditions, the fundamental plasma and hydrodynamic models that can describe ...

Astrophysical Quantities

1 review

Springer, 1999

From a fan of the third edition
Allen's third edition was one of those reference books that you develop a personal relationship with. It was small enough to get to know, and quirky enough to require getting to know. This fourth is a committee effort, bigger, more authoritative, more up to date. I doubt that I will develop a warm affection for it, as I did it's predecessor, but I will use it just the same.
