Selected by Choice magazine as an Outstanding Academic Title for 2017
This is a remarkably detailed, 800-page compendium of information currently known about galaxies, told in an unusual question and answer interview format by dozens of experts in the field. This 800-page book is well referenced and makes excellent use of diagrams and images, many of which appear in color. It is an essential reference for any individual with a technical interest in galaxies. Summing Up: Essential. Upper-division undergraduates and above; faculty and professionals. (T. D. Oswalt, Choice, Vol. 54 (8), April, 2017)
The book is well produced, with black-and-white and colour figures within the text. Each chapter has contributions from several authors, with references collected at the end of the chapter. The book provides a good overview for those with some knowledge of the field. (Phillip Helbig, The Observatory, Vol. 137, August, 2017)
