Gravity

Carl Friedrich von Weizsacker's "e;Aufbau der Physik"e;, first published in 1985, was intended as an overview of his lifelong concern: an understanding of the unity of physics.

"e; Our second Symposium The Future of Life and the Future of our Civili- tion"e; was held in May of 2005 year in Germany (Frankfurt am Main).

An international conference entitled "e;Zdenek Kopal's Binary Star Legacy"e; was held on the occasion of the late Professor Kopal's 90th birthday in his home town of Litomysl/Czech Republic and dedicated to the memory of one of the leading astronomers of the 20th century.

Neutron stars hold a central place in astrophysics, not only because they are made up of the most extreme states of the condensed matter, but also because they are, along with white dwarfs and black holes, one of the stable configurations that stars reach at the end of stellar evolution.

This volume brings together contributions from many of the world's leading authorities on black hole accretion.
