Physics And Chemistry of the Interstellar Medium
"This book is one of the few modern texts on the interstellar  medium. It is particularly excellent for microphysical processes and  particularly those that are not easily accessible---physically oriented  discussions of atomic and molecular excitation and radiation, molecular binding and  astrochemical processes, and important detailed aspects of interstellar  grains such as the observational manifestations and formation/destruction  mechanisms.--Carl Heiles, UC Berkeley"I would recommend that this book be adopted by faculty for their courses.   Students will learn a great deal from it, and it will be useful as a  reference for researchers in this field."--Mark Wolfire, University of Maryland
