Galactic AstronomyPaperback, 6 September 1998

This is the definitive treatment of the phenomenology of galaxies - a clear and comprehensive volume that take full account of the extraordinary recent advances in the field. The book supercedes the classic text "Galactic Astronomy" that James Binney wrote with Dimitri Mihalas, and it complements "Galactic Dynamics" by Binney and Scott Tremaine. It will be invaluable to researchers and is accessible to any student who has a background in undergraduate physics.
