Based on the lecture notes of a school titled 'Tides in Astronomy
and Astrophysics' that brought together students and researchers,
this book focuses on the fundamental theories of tides at different
scales of the universe-from tiny satellites to whole galaxies-and
on the most recent developments. It also attempts to place the
study of tides in a historical perspective. Starting with a general
tutorial on tides, the theme of tides is approached in 9 chapters
from many directions. They allow non-experts to pick up a physical
intuition and a sense of orders of magnitude in the theory of
tides. These carefully prepared lecture notes by leaders in the
field include many illustrative figures and drawings. Some even
offer a variety of simple back-of the-envelope problems.
