This third edition of The Physics of the Interstellar Medium continues to introduce advanced undergraduates to the fundamental processes and the wide range of disciplines needed to understand observations of the interstellar medium and its role in the Milky Way galaxy. The book is suitable for undergraduate students studying physics, astronomy, and astrophysics. The book also provides concise and straightforward discussions of interstellar physics and chemistry that are useful for more experienced readers. The book leads readers through the range of physical processes operating on both large and small scales that occur in the interstellar medium. It explores the relationship between the dusty, tenuous gas in interstellar space and the formation of stars and planets. This new edition also describes exciting developments in the field of astrochemistry and its interaction with interstellar physics, and the roles played by interstellar dust grains in interstellar physics and chemistry. Simple models in each chapter, together with problems at the end of each chapter, encompass interdisciplinary applications in atomic, molecular, solid state, and surface physics, and gas dynamics. This popular textbook provides a useful overview and grounding in the study of the interstellar medium and brings insight into many aspects of physics. Features An authoritative textbook in the field at this academic level Provides a wide introduction to the interstellar medium whilst remaining accessible and concise Revised throughout, presenting a modern understanding of the interstellar medium

The King of the Dad Jokes expands to Self Driving Cars. Hang on tight!

An article in The Huffington Post referred to Joe Dyson as "The King of the Dad Jokes" because of his 500 joke filled videos on his Youtube channel, "DysonShow500". Now, Joe is releasing many of those gags in his new joke book, "The King of the Dad Jokes. Let the laughing begin...

"You and I are Intertwined" is one of the funniest, warm-hearted and ultimately true-to-life stories that you'll read this year! Tom Icing has always been haunted by events that occurred over thirty years ago. Now that he's joined an Internet Social Networking site, he starts receiving Bud Requests from the very people that revolved around those events. (Translation: Old girlfriends start contacting him) What should our married hero do? Better yet, what would YOU do? "You And I Are Intertwined" is the sequel to "Never Entertain During Watermelon Season"...somewhat.

'Never Entertain During Watermelon Season' is the story of an ordinary guy who attempts to become a standup comedian in the San Francisco bay area during the comedy scene of the nineteen-seventies. While told in a fictional format, it actually does follow the real attempt of the author to fulfill his dream. In the process, you will be brought on stage with the author for over a hundred performances, including the actual scripts and real audience reactions. Follow the author, through his secret identity of Tom Icing, for a hilarious romp through the late nineteen-seventies as you discover why you should, 'Never Entertain During Watermelon Season."
