Annotation These papers, collected from the August 1999 conference, address issues such as emission properties, the evolution of pulsar populations, accurate timing observations, the nature of AXPs and Magnetars, the use of pulsars to study the interstellar medium, pulsars as probes of General Relativity, and the numerous theoretical interpretations of the pulsar phenomena. Contributors include astronomers and physicists from around the world. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Pulsars are rapidly spinning neutron stars, the collapsed cores of once massive stars that ended their lives as supernova explosions. In this book, Geoff McNamara explores the history, subsequent discovery and contemporary research into pulsar astronomy. The story of pulsars is brought right up to date with the announcement in 2006 of a new breed of pulsar, Rotating Radio Transients (RRATs), which emit short bursts of radio signals separated by long pauses. These may outnumber conventional radio pulsars by a ratio of four to one. Geoff McNamara ends by pointing out that, despite the enormous success of pulsar research in the second half of the twentieth century, the real discoveries are yet to be made including, perhaps, the detection of the hypothetical pulsar black hole binary system by the proposed Square Kilometre Array - the largest single radio telescope in the world.
