This book is based on the lecture notes of a one-semester course on
black hole astrophysics given by the author and is aimed at
advanced undergraduate and graduate students with an interest in
astrophysics. The material included goes beyond that found in
classic textbooks and presents details on astrophysical
manifestations of black holes. In particular, jet physics and
detailed accounts of objects like microquasars, active galactic
nuclei, gamma-ray bursts, and ultra-luminous X-ray sources are
covered, as well as advanced topics like black holes in alternative
theories of gravity. The author avoids unnecessary technicalities
and to some degree the book is self-contained. The reader will find
some basic general relativity tools in Chapter 1. The appendices
provide some additional mathematical details that will be useful
for further study, and a guide to the bibliography on the subject.
