| Title | Characterizing Space Plasmas : A Data Driven Approach |
| Author(s) | Parks, George K |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2018. |
| Description | XX, 332 p. 95 illus., 47 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This didactic book uses a data-driven approach to connect measurements made by plasma instruments to the real world. This approach makes full use of the instruments??? capability and examines the data at the most detailed level an experiment can provide. Students using this approach will learn what instruments can measure, and working with real-world data will pave their way to models consistent with these observations. While conceived as a teaching tool, the book contains a considerable amount of new information. It emphasizes recent results, such as particle measurements made from the Cluster ion experiment, explores the consequences of new discoveries, and evaluates new trends or techniques in the field. At the same time, the author ensures that the physical concepts used to interpret the data are general and widely applicable. The topics included help readers understand basic problems fundamental to space plasma physics. Some are appearing for the first time in a space physics textbook. Others present different perspectives and interpretations of old problems and models that were previously considered incontestable. This book is essential reading for graduate students in space plasma physics, and a useful reference for the broader astrophysics community. |

| Title | Astronomical Polarisation from the Infrared to Gamma Rays |
| Author(s) | Mignani, Roberto;Shearer, Andrew;S??owikowska, Agnieszka;Zane, Silvia |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2019. |
| Description | XXI, 393 p. 126 illus., 76 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book serves as both a primer to astronomical polarimetry and an authoritative overview of its application to various types of astronomical objects from AGN, compact stars, binary systems, stars across the HR diagram, transients, the interstellar medium and solar system bodies. It starts with an historical perspective, a discussion of polarimetric theory, instrumentation and techniques in wave bands from the near infrared to gamma rays. The book presents the state of the art in astronomical polarimetry. It is motivated by the new X-ray polarimeters due to be launched in the next four years and improved optical polarimeters on large telescopes requiring a new analysis of polarimetric theory, methodology and results.This book will be suitable as advanced undergraduate companion text, a primer for graduate students and all researchers with an interest in astronomical polarimetry |

| Title | New Millennium Solar Physics |
| Author(s) | Aschwanden, Markus J |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2019. |
| Description | XV, 714 p. 229 illus., 170 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This is a follow-on book to the introductory textbook "Physics of the Solar Corona" previously published in 2004 by the same author, which provided a systematic introduction and covered mostly scientific results from the pre-2000 era. Using a similar structure as the previous book the second volume provides a seamless continuation of numerous novel research results in solar physics that emerged in the new millennium (after 2000) from the new solar missions of RHESSI, STEREO, Hinode, CORONAS, and the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) during the era of 2000-2018. The new solar space missions are characterized by unprecedented high-resolution imaging, time resolution, spectral capabilities, stereoscopy and tomography, which reveal the intricate dynamics of magneto-hydrodynamic processes in the solar corona down to scales of 100 km. The enormous amount of data streaming down from SDO in Terabytes per day requires advanced automated data processing methods. The book focuses exclusively on new research results after 2000, which are reviewed in a comprehensive manner, documented by over 3600 literature references, covering theory, observations, and numerical modeling of basic physical processes that are observed in high-temperature plasmas of the Sun and other astrophysical objects, such as plasma instabilities, coronal heating, magnetic reconnection processes, coronal mass ejections, plasma waves and oscillations, or particle acceleration. |

| Title | Planetary habitability |
| Author(s) | Stephen R Kane |
| Publication | Bristol, Institute of Physics Publishing, 2021. |
| Abstract Note | Understanding planetary habitability is one of the major challenges of the current scientific era, and is a vast inter-disciplinary undertaking that combines planetary science, climate science, and stellar astrophysics. This book provides an overview of the many processes that influence the energy balance of planetary surface environments and control the sustainability of temperate conditions. These factors include such aspects as the influence of stars, the atmospheres and interiors or planets, and the orbital dynamics of planetary systems. Also described are the concepts behind the habitable zone, lessons learned from solar system data, and the vast opportunities that are provided by exoplanet discoveries, both now and into the future. |

| Title | Space time infinity |
| Author(s) | James S. Trefil |
| Publication | New York, 1. Pantheon Books
2. Smithsonian Books, 1985. |
| Description | 255p. |
| Abstract Note | Beginning with humankind's earliest views of the cosmos recorded in Egypt, Babylon, and Greece, and evi dence from megalithic sites such as Stonehenge, Trefil quickly traces the rise of Western astronomy to contem porary views of stars, galaxies, and in finity. Issues of cosmology, astrophys ics, and cosmogony are treated lucidly and richly illustrated with hundreds of colored pictures and diagrams. Impor tant unsolved scientific problems are explored, as well as questions such as the existence of extraterrestrial life. Completely up-to-date scientifically, this book tells a story of immense scope. Highly recommended for lay people and a beautiful addition to pub lic libraries. |
