| Title | Brief history of astronomy and astrophysics |
| Author(s) | Kenneth R. Lang |
| Publication | New Jersey, World Scientific, 2018. |
| Description | xiii, 325p. |
| Abstract Note | This book traces out the unfolding history of important discoveries in astronomy and astrophysics, and anchors our present understanding of the Universe within the findings and personalities of accomplished astronomers. They have used telescopes and instruments to extend our vision to places that cannot be seen with the unaided eye, discovered a host of unanticipated objects, found out how various parts of the night sky are related, and discovered that the Universe is larger, more complex, and older than has been previously thought. This comprehensive historical approach to the present state of astronomy is a unique aspect of the book. |

| Title | Astrophysics is easy!: An Introduction for the Amateur Astronomer |
| Author(s) | Michael Inglis |
| Publication | London, Springer-Verlag, 2007. |
| Description | xvii, 204p. |
| Series | (Patrick Moore's Practical Astronomy Series) |
| Abstract Note | Astrophysics is Easy! begins by looking at the H-R diagram and other basic tools of astrophysics, then ranges across the universe, from a first look at the interstellar medium and nebulae, through the birth, evolution and death of stars, to the physics of galaxies and clusters of galaxies.
A unique feature of this book is the way that Dr. Inglis lists example objects for practical observation at every stage, so that practical astronomers can go and look at the object or objects under discussion â using only easily-available commercial amateur equipment. |

| Title | Extreme environment astrophysics |
| Author(s) | Ulrich Kolb |
| Publication | Cambridge, Cambridge University Press, 2010. |
| Description | 287p. |
| Abstract Note | Covering host systems of accreting, relativistic bodies, and the high-energy phenomena associated with them, this self-contained astrophysics textbook is ideal for advanced undergraduates. The textbook introduces students to a unique blend of astrophysical principles, including the evolutionary history of compact binary stars, the physics of accretion and accretion disc outbursts, the observed signatures of such discs in binary stars and active galactic nuclei, the X-ray emission of accreting compact bodies, and the physics of astrophysical jets and gamma-ray bursts. Worked examples, exercises with complete solutions, full-colour figures and informative chapter summaries guide students through their studies. Boxed equations and key facts highlight important points. Produced by academics drawing on decades of experience delivering courses for The Open University and concentrating on supported learning, this textbook is an ideal guide for self-study. |
