An essential overview of the physical and mathematical background of radiative transfer, and its applications to stellar and planetary atmospheres.

Recenzje

'The bulk of this volume consists of highly specialized and rigorously presented tutorials on this theory and on how to employ it, suitable for readers who are already professional specialists or advanced graduate students in physics or astrophysics, assuming strong mathematical preparation … This will be a welcome acquisition for graduate-level and research libraries with collections in physics, astrophysics, and planetary science.' S. P. Maran, Choice
