“Living in our Milky Way galaxy with its billions of habitable planets, we humans are aching to know something, anything, about our intelligent neighbors among the stars. The Impact of Discovering Life Beyond Earth offers thoughtful and beautiful notions for the coming breakthrough contact.” Geoff Marcy, University of California, Berkley
THE IMPACT OF DISCOVERING
“Are we alone in the cosmos? If yes, we can never be sure. If no, we might well have an answer within the decade. The 22 authors of these fascinating and informative essays say no, we are not alone, despite the fact that so far not a shred of evidence has been found for the existence of life elsewhere in the universe. But just in case they are right, we need to start thinking about the possibility that we are not alone, and here is a good place to start.” Owen Gingerich, HarvardSmithsonian Center for Astrophysics Author of God’s Planet

The search for life in the universe, once the domain of science fiction, is now a robust research program with a well-defined roadmap, from studying the extremes of life on Earth to exploring the possible niches for life in the Solar System and discovering thousands of planets far beyond it. In addition to constituting a major scientific endeavor, astrobiology is one of the most popular topics in astronomy, and is of growing interest to a broad community of thinkers from across the academic spectrum. In this volume, distinguished philosophers, theologians, anthropologists, historians, and scientists discuss the big questions about how the discovery of extraterrestrial life, whether intelligent or microbial, would impact society. Their remarkable and often surprising findings challenge our foundational concepts of what the discovery of alien life may hold for humankind. Written in easily accessible language, this thought-provoking collection engages a wide audience of readers from all backgrounds.

An Introduction to Star Formation Derek Ward-Thompson University of Central Lancashire, Preston
and Anthony P. Whitworth Cardiff University
Guiding the reader through all the stages that lead to the formation of a star such as our Sun, this advanced textbook provides students with a complete overview of star formation. This unique, self-contained text combines theory with observation, and is ideal for students and professional researchers alike. ‘Star formation is one of the most active research fields in modern astronomy and is also the key to understanding problems as diverse as galaxy evolution and the origin of planets. This book, written by two highly regarded experts, first poses the questions that define the field of star formation and then gives a remarkably comprehensive yet concise survey of the underlying physics. The book provides both an overview suitable for those new to the field and also a convenient handbook for established researchers. It emphasizes both basic principles and established results and will surely remain a standard work for years to come.’ David Williams, Emeritus Perren Professor of Astronomy, University College London 2015 244 x 170 mm 230pp 81 b/w illus. 978-1-107-48352-1 Paperback £35.99 / US$55.99 Also available 978-0-521-63030-6 Hardback £44.99 / US$74.99 For all formats available, see

An Introduction to the Sun and Stars Second edition Edited by Simon F. Green The Open University, Milton Keynes
and Mark H. Jones The Open University, Manchester
Compiled by experts, this generously illustrated textbook introduces the properties and evolution of stars for undergraduates and amateurs. ‘An Introduction to the Sun and Stars is a real find for those of us who had previously despaired of finding a way to introduce the magic of ‘mere stars’ to readers already aware of apparently more exotic
phenomena in the Universe. The illustrations are the best I have seen in this level of textbook and have clearly been carefully selected to bring alive the most exciting new discoveries. The accompanying text puts these discoveries in a solid context and explains the associated physics in simple but effective terms. This book will certainly appear on my recommended reading list for introductory astronomy.’ Annelia Sargent, California Institute of Technology

Bridging the gap between physics and astronomy, this is the first integrated graduate-level textbook on atomic astrophysics. ‘This is a very important book that bridges the gap between modern atomic physics and modern astrophysics. It covers all the essential subjects, and is very well written. I think it will be of considerable value to research workers in both broad areas, to professors who wish to teach about the subjects, and to students. I expect that it will be very well received by both communities. I’m happy that Cambridge [University Press] will add this book to its distinguished series of books in physics and astrophysics.’ Dimitri Mihalas, G. C.

A unique graduate textbook that develops powerful approximation methods and their applications to reallife astrophysical systems. ‘This remarkable book gives a superb pedagogical treatment of topics that are crucial for modern astrophysics and gravitational-wave science, but (sadly) are generally omitted from textbooks on general relativity, or treated much too briefly. With enthusiasm, I recommend this book to all astrophysicists, gravitational physicists, and students of these subjects.’

community of thinkers from across the academic spectrum. In this volume, distinguished philosophers, theologians, anthropologists, historians and scientists discuss the big questions about how the discovery of extraterrestrial life, whether intelligent or microbial, would impact society. Their remarkable and often surprising findings challenge our foundational concepts of what the discovery of alien life may hold for humankind. Written in easily accessible language, this thought-provoking collection engages a wide audience of readers from all backgrounds. ‘Are we alone in the cosmos? If yes, we can never be sure. If no, we might well have an answer within the decade. The 22 authors of these fascinating and informative essays say no, we are not alone, despite the fact that so far not a shred of evidence has been found for the existence of life elsewhere in the universe. But just in case they are right, we need to start thinking about the possibility that we are not alone, and here is a good place to start.’ Owen Gingerich, Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics and author of God’s Planet

Editor-in-Chief, Astronomy magazine
Foreword by Alex Filippenko University of California, Berkeley
Over the past decade, astronomers, planetary scientists, and cosmologists have answered – or are closing in on the answers to – some of the biggest questions about the universe. David J. Eicher presents a spectacular exploration of the cosmos that provides you with a balanced and precise view of the latest discoveries. Detailed and entertaining narratives on compelling topics such as how the Sun will die, the end of life on Earth, why Venus turned itself insideout, the Big Bang Theory, the mysteries of dark matter and dark energy, and the meaning of life in the universe are supported by numerous color illustrations including photos, maps and explanatory diagrams. In each chapter the author sets out the scientific history of a specific question or problem, before tracing the modern observations and evidence in order to solve it. Join David J. Eicher on this fascinating journey through the cosmos! ‘David Eicher has more than three decades’ experience of writing about astronomy for a general readership. His experience and enthusiasm shine through in this wide-ranging survey of current ‘hot topics’.’ Martin Rees, Emeritus Professor of Cosmology and Astrophysics, University of Cambridge

Why Quark Rhymes with Pork And Other Scientific Diversions N. David Mermin
Highlight
A Student’s Guide to Waves Daniel Fleisch Wittenberg University, Ohio
and Laura Kinnaman
Cornell University, New York
Morningside College, Iowa
A collection of offbeat, entertaining and primarily nontechnical essays on physics and those who practice it, from eminent theoretical physicist N. David Mermin. Bringing together for the first time all thirty of his columns published in Physics Today’s Reference Frame series from 1988 to 2009, with updating commentary, this humorous and unusual volume includes thirteen other essays, many of them previously unpublished. Mermin’s lively and penetrating writing illuminates a broad range of topics, from the implications of bad spelling in a major science journal, to the crises of science libraries and scientific periodicals, the folly of scientific prizes and honors, the agony of getting funding, and how to pronounce ‘quark’. His witty observations and insightful anecdotes gleaned from a lifetime in science will entertain physicists at all levels, as well as anyone else interested in science or scientists at the turn of the twenty-first century.
Written to complement course textbooks, this book focuses on the topics that undergraduates in physics and engineering find most difficult.

IAU Symposium 303 highlights the latest Galactic Center research by scientists from around the world. Topics vary from theory through observations, from stars and stellar orbits through nearby black holes and explosive events, to the building blocks and transport of energy in galaxies similar to our own Milky Way. Highlights presented include: high-resolution, multi-wavelength large-scale surveys of molecular gas in the central molecular and dust zones of our Galaxy; studies of stellar populations and stellar orbits around the supermassive black hole Sgr A*; presentations of theoretical models to explain the dusty S-cluster object (DSO) G2, as well as the general accretion and jet formation in the vicinity of Sgr A*; and discussions of large-scale γ -ray emission in the context of energetic activity and magnetic fields in the Galactic Center. The volume concludes by looking ahead to future observing opportunities across the electromagnetic spectrum at very high resolution. Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union Editor in Chief: Prof. Thierry Montmerle This series contains the proceedings of major scientific meetings held by the International Astronomical Union. Each volume contains a series of articles on a topic of current interest in astronomy, giving a timely overview of research in the field. With contributions by leading scientists, these books are at a level suitable for research astronomers and graduate students.
