Pulsar research is a rapidly growing field that now pervades the whole of astrophysics and extends to condensed matter and gravity. The fifth edition of this unique survey and guide to the current research literature is invaluable for advanced lecture courses and established researchers alike.

Andrew Lyne has been at the forefront of pulsar research for over 50 years. He has discovered over two-thirds of the known pulsars, has more than 400 publications to his name and has several awards including the Herschel Medal of the Royal Astronomical Society and the Descartes Prize of the European Union. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society and was Director of Jodrell Bank Observatory (1997¿2007).
