Astrophysics is a branch of astronomy which applies the principles of physics and chemistry. It seeks to determine the nature of astronomical objects, instead of their positions or movement in space. There are several objects studied under this discipline such as stars, galaxies, extrasolar planets and cosmic microwave background. It aims to examine various properties of these objects, such as luminosity, density, temperature and chemical composition, as well as their emissions. There are two major divisions within this field- observational astrophysics and theoretical astrophysics. The former focuses on recording data, and the latter deals with finding out the measurable implications of physical models. The extensive content of this book provides the readers with a thorough understanding of astrophysics. It elucidates the concepts and innovative models around prospective developments with respect to astrophysics. It aims to serve as a resource guide for students and experts alike and contribute to the growth of the discipline.

"e;It's a great country, but never trust it, son. It's beautiful but it's treacherous."e;Adam Ross had seen the way his country could destroy a man. Growing up in the Australian outback in the first half of the twentieth century with no formal education, no parents and no one to love him, he learned to fend for himself. But when he forms an unlikely friendship with Jimmy, who works in the Opal mines, his luck begins to change. The land that stole Adam's father gives him an opportunity to start anew. Armed with determination and ambition, Adam treks west to carve himself an empire. However, success doesn't come easy and Adam, a man who spent much of his life devoid of love, soon finds himself caught between two women. Torn between his love for his cold-hearted wife and his mistress, Adam must make decisions about his future and the type of man he wants to be.
