Yet for too long, there has been no comprehensive textbook on radio astronomy for undergraduate students.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis two-volume set of introductory textbooks is exclusively devoted to radio astronomy, with extensive discussions of telescopes, observation methods, and astrophysical processes that are relevant for this exciting field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first volume, \u003cstrong\u003eFundamentals of Radio Astronomy: Observational Methods\u003c\/strong\u003e, discusses radio astronomy instrumentation and the techniques to conduct successful observations. The second volume, \u003cstrong\u003eFundamentals of Radio Astronomy: Astrophysics\u003c\/strong\u003e, discusses the physical processes that give rise to radio emission, presents examples of astronomical objects that emit by these mechanisms, and illustrates how the relevant physical parameters of astronomical sources can be obtained from the radio observations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRequiring no prior knowledge of astronomy, the two volumes are ideal textbooks for radio astronomy courses at the undergraduate or graduate level, particularly those that emphasize radio wavelength instrumentation and observational techniques or the astrophysics of radio sources. The set enables instructors to pick and choose topics from the two volumes that best fit their courses. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eExplores radio astronomy instruments and techniques that are important to enable observations\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDescribes astrophysical processes that produce the radio emissions observed in different types of astronomical objects\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes numerous worked examples to demonstrate how the methods are used to solve problems, in addition to advanced material for students with more extensive physics and mathematics backgrounds\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJonathan M.
