Describing interstellar matter in our galaxy in all of its
various forms, this book also considers the physical and chemical
processes that are occurring within this matter. The first seven
chapters present the various components making up the interstellar
matter and detail the ways that we are able to study them. The
following seven chapters are devoted to the physical, chemical and
dynamical processes that control the behaviour of interstellar
matter. These include the instabilities and cloud collapse
processes that lead to the formation of stars. The last chapter
summarizes the transformations that can occur between the different
phases of the interstellar medium. Emphasizing methods over
results, The Interstellar Medium is written for graduate students,
for young astronomers, and also for any researchers who have
developed an interest in the interstellar medium.
