Thank goodness, it's back! Gnomon, V17, n1, 1997 ... an ideal introduction to the physics of the interstellar medium. The Observatory One must bear in mind what Dyson and Williams were aiming to achieve. They wished to provide an introduction of appropriate level and length for an in-depth third-year undergraduate course. They Succeeded. In addition, they produced a book to which a wide variety of postgraduate students and practicing astronomers can turn. Such a reader can quickly get a background in an area that may touch on but may not be at the heart of their research. Tom Hartquist, A&G April 2003, Vol.44 goodness, it's back!
