Description: Pulsars (ed. A. D. Kuzmin, Nova Science, 1992) is volume 196 of the Proceedings of the Lebedev Physics Institute—a compact, 163-page collection distilling the Pushchino group’s radio-astronomy work on neutron-star pulsars. The volume surveys pulsar radio emission across meter–decimeter wavelengths, with chapters on energy output and spectra, frequency-dependent pulse profiles (and how their shapes and arrival times change), polarization and propagation effects in the interstellar medium, and techniques to reconstruct intrinsic profiles from scattering-broadened data. It emphasizes observational phenomenology—average vs. single pulses, interpulses, subpulses, and microstructure—linking these to magnetospheric geometry (core/cone components, hollow-cone models) and plasma processes. In short: a proceedings-style snapshot of early-1990s Russian leadership in low-frequency pulsar studies, useful as a historical and methodological reference for radio pulsar astronomy.
