Scientists from some of the most prestigious centers of astronomy in the US summarize the current theory and observations regarding planets orbiting other stars than the sun. The material is at a level accessible to graduate students in astronomy or related disciplines, and the low price makes it available to them. Like other volumes in the series, it is intended as a bridge between a textbook and a review. The main sections are: exoplanet observing techniques, exoplanet dynamics, formation and proto-planet disk evolution, and interiors and atmospheres. Among specific topics are Keplerian orbits and dynamics of exoplanets, transits and occultations, tidal evolution of exoplanets, giant planet formation, and terrestrial planet atmospheres and biosignatures.
