Reader Reviews
This review is from: Astrophysics of Gaseous Nebulae and Active Galactic Nuclei (Hardcover) Perhaps it was just the professor, but I could never get into this book. I think its hopelessly boring, and like alot of graduate textbooks in astro, it has a TERRIBLE index. You can't find anything you need in terms of numbers or equations with the index, you must read the book cover to cover to know where something is. It also has way too many numbers scattered in tables, and you must read the chapter to know what assumptions were made when he calculated those numbers. Our entire class had such a difficult time with homework using this book that I doubt any of us would give a good review of the book. My own research is in AGN, and for the most part he does OK in explaining them but he can confuse you in comparing them. Comment | | (Report this)
