"In its various incarnations it has been a constant companion for my entire scientific career ... Compared to the last edition, the new version of the handbook has almost double the number of pages and represents a considerable expansion of the content of each chapter." - Prof. Martin Barstow, University of Leicester.
"Modern astrophysics requires
the use of observations over the broadest range of
wavelengths to fully understand the physical nature
of the objects and processes we wish to study in
the universe. .... The Handbook of Space Astronomy and
Astrophysics gathers in one place the most
frequently-used information in modern astrophysics
and presents it in the most useful fashion to the
non-specialist in a particular field." - Riccardo Giacconi, Nobel Laureate, 2002, Physics
