James Binney is professor of physics at the University of Oxford. His books include "Galactic Astronomy". Scott Tremaine is the Richard Black Professor of Astrophysics at the Institute for Advanced Study and a member of the National Academy of Sciences. . Both are fellows of the Royal Society
I expect it to stand as a classic reference for many years to come."--American Scientist. Winner of the 2013 Eddington Medal, Royal Astronomical Society"The material is covered with care, rigor, and exemplary clarity; there is nothing obscure, sloppy, or superficial. The authors are, moreover, careful to make clear the limits of present knowledge, and to point out where conclusions cannot yet be drawn
"Book was in great condition. Of course this the classic galactic dynamics" according to Lilo. Book was in great condition. Of course this the classic galactic dynamics book, so I would highly recommend it to anyone in the field.. "Five Stars" according to Amazon Customer. This is one of the standard references for this field..

The authors maintain an effective style of exposition throughout, keeping clear what is present knowledge and what is still speculation, while allowing the reader to grasp an overview of the subject before following through (where needed) with the mathematical detail. Most of the astronomical community since the late 1980s was introduced to galactic dynamics through Galactic Dynamics, and it remains the most widely used graduate textbook in galactic astrophysics today. Through this approach, Binney and Tremaine succeeded in creating a classic reference of enormous pedagogic value.. Two of the world's leading astrophysicists, James Binney and Scott Tremaine, here present a comprehensive review of the theory of galactic dynamics at a level suitable for both graduate students and researchers.
