High-energy astrophysics has unveiled a Universe very different from that only known from optical observations. It has revealed many types of objects in which t

This book has two goals. One goal is to provide a means for those new to high-energy-density physics to gain a broad foundation from one text. The second goal i

The raw numbers of high-energy-density physics are amazing: shock waves at hundreds of km/s (approaching a million km per hour), temperatures of millions of deg
