A lucid and authoritative exposition.

|
This book is an excellent advanced undergraduate/graduate text that lucidly and comprehensively covers the area of extragalactic astronomy from observations of galaxies and galaxy evolution, through to a dicussion of many aspects of observational cosmology. Professor Longair is an excellent writer and advanced concepts are covered clearly and with authority. The book also provides a comprehensive introduction to relativistic astrophysics and is therefore fairly self-contained.
