内容説明

This exploration of galaxies and galactic structures is designed to fill the gap between introductory-level texts (which are often cursory by necessity) and graduate-level texts (which assume physics and mathematics preparation and include details that are beyond the scope of intermediate-level work). Comprehensive in scope, it considers the formation, structure, evolution, and distribution of galaxies - and is particularly strong in its approach to analyzing light distributions in galaxies and in developing a theoretical framework in which to interpret the observations.
