This book by a Nobel Laureate provides the foundation for analysis of stellar atmospheres, planetary illumination, and sky radiation. Radiation transfer has been investigated as a phenomenon of astrophysics, and it has attained wider interest because of similar problems in the theory of neutron diffusion. Suitable for students and professionals in physics, nuclear physics, astrophysics, and atmospheric studies. 1950 edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Top of the list,
By Tomba "PR" (Washington, DC USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Radiative Transfer (Dover Books on Physics) (Paperback)
In any heirarchy of books on this subject this one is at or near the top. If you are just a beginner at the subject, don't bother with it just yet. If you have a good foundation in vector calculus, and some knowledge of radiative transfer, go for it. I thought I knew radiative transfer until I read this book. (ok, parts of this book.) Chandrasekhar is one of those people who knows the subject cold, and writes it down clearly with no apologies.

This book is recommended to those who are interested in remote sensing modeling...It is not an entry-level book, and so require some effort and background, but definitely worth your time!

This review is from: Radiative Transfer (Dover Books on Physics) (Paperback)
I have not had time to get too far into it yet , but the clarity and completeness of the geometric analysis of the phenomena being examined is sufficient to warrant the work a classic
