Reviews

The book is a pleasant surprise in that each of the ten contributions it contains is a serious mini-review about one facet of the field ... . The contributions themselves present an interesting snapshot of current theoretical ideas on black-hole jets and, although inevitably rather subjective, are well written. ... Overall, this volume contains a nice mix of theoretical ideas combined with solid observational reviews. I would recommend it for someone wanting to gain a quick snapshot of the field. (Rob Fender, The Observatory, Vol. 136 (1252), June, 2016)

Denise Gabuzda is a Senior Lecturer at the Physics Department, University College Cork. She is working on AGN jets, searching for observational evidence for the presence of helical jet magnetic fields. Together with Ioannis Contopoulos et al. she has discovered observational evidence for the operation of a Poynting-Robertson Battery operating in AGN accretion disks. Nikos Kylafis is Professor & Dean of the School of Sciences at the University of Crete.
