Dynamics of Galaxies (Hardcover, 2nd Revised edition)

Review: Review of the first edition: 'A fresh and exciting introduction to modern galactic physics on the grand scale, and of its connections to other broad domains of contemporary physics. Graduate students in particular, will appreciate the clarity of presentation.' Bruno Coppi, Massachusetts Institute of Technology Review of the first edition: 'This book fills a major need for a graduate-level, physically-based introduction to galaxies, and will be of a very wide appeal as a course text. The original approach leads to a rich physical intuition of real kinematical systems. A particular strength is the detailed analysis of the limitations of current methods and theories.' Gerry Gilmore, University of Cambridge Review of the first edition: 'Giuseppe Bertin's Dynamics of Galaxies is an elucidating account of a graduate course given by Bertin over the past two decades ... His] book is particularly useful for students interested in mathematical methods of galactic dynamics. Bertin's comparisons between galactic dynamics and plasma physics are also innovative and illustrative.' Debra Elmegreen, Physics Today
