Review
'This is a book which is well-timed and well-written and deserves to be read by a wider audience than that at which it is aimed.' The Observatory
Book Description
Radio pulsars are rapidly rotating, highly magnetized neutron stars. This comprehensive book brings together key observational techniques, background information and a review of the latest results, including the recent discovery of a double pulsar system. Useful software tools are provided to analyze example data, made available on a related website. The work will be of great value to graduate students and researchers wishing to carry out and interpret a wide variety of radio pulsar observations.

4.0 out of 5 stars
tight integration of book and website, Mar 29 2005
By W Boudville - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Handbook of Pulsar Astronomy (Hardcover)
The coolest aspect of the book is its tight integration with the associated website that has scads of observational data. Along with various software that lets you analyse the data for yourself. Any of you in research who've had to write software should appreciate the amount of effort that has gone into the coding of that software.The book also provides you with a very recent (2004) assessment of the best current understanding of pulsars. With many references to the original research papers.
But the combination of text and website is a harbinger of future astronomy books, as volumes of data keep increasing. Traditional texts gave you no such access.
