ACCRETION DISKS IN COMPACT STELLAR SYSTEMS

• Disk instabilities in stellar accretion disks, J. Cannizzo and F. Meyer; angular momentum transport in low mass accretion disks, E.T. Vishniac; emission lines from accretion disks, E.L. Robinson; eclipse mapping of accretion disks, K. Horne; disk atmospheres, G. Shaviv; discs and magnetospheres, A. King; winds and boundary layers in accretion disks, J. Drew; the stream-disk interaction, M. Livio; non-axisymmetric structures of accretion disks in close binary systems, Y. Osaki; X-ray observations of accretion disks, H. Inoue; illumination models for soft X-ray transients, A. King; black hole accretion disk instabilities, S. Mineshige.

"... a useful source of information on the recent developments of accretion disks as well as a reference book. I would recommend this book to scientists who wish to enlarge their knowledge on the present state of art of the field. Of course, it should be present in any astronomical library."
