5.0 out of 5 stars
detailed enough to be interesting,
By Theodore Sung (Needham, MA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Restless Universe: Understanding X-Ray Astronomy in the Age of Chandra and Newton (Hardcover)
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The author did not shy awayfrom trying to explain the physics in an understandable way and succeeded. He also very clearly proved his points with detailed examples. I did think the book was a little disorganized but overall highly recommend this book.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Good book on observational x-ray astronomy,

This review is from: The Restless Universe: Understanding X-Ray Astronomy in the Age of Chandra and Newton (Hardcover)
This is an excellent book on x-ray astronomy. The author, a working scientist in the field, explains how x-ray astronomy slowly matured through the many satellites developed. The author took great care in explaining the details of the science and egineering of the various x-ray probes and the many intricacies of the x-ray astronomy itself. He slowly takes the reader to the depths of spectroscopy and then to the mysteries of the universre, stars and satr clouds. I enjoyed the reading.
