  The fundamental Physics and Chemistry required for understanding interstellar medium are lucidly explained by this textbook. Modern, comprehensive and extensive, the book goes beyond a phenomenological study to present a detailed quantitative treatment of the dynamic interactions between stars and interstellar matter. Emphasizing a practical understanding of these processes, the book is interlaced with mathematical derivations that are clean, elegant and easily understandable by anyone with an undergraduate background in Physics.
