This book presents gravitational lensing as an essential tool in astrophysics for tracking dark matter at all scales in the Universe.

Recenzje

'Each article is self-contained and as a whole it presents an overview of the field of strong lensing … For the reader who is entering the filed this is a useful collection that summarizes it well.' Alan Heavens, The Observatory
