Flares and Flashes
Springer Berlin (Verlag)
978-3-662-14008-6 (ISBN)
The book (IAU Colloquium 151) covers different fields of research on solar and stellar flares ranging from radio up to gamma-ray wavelengths. It contains a special chapter on all-sky monitoring as well as excerpts of a roundtable discussion with an interesting outlook on future developments. Researchers and graduate students will get a complete picture of this part of modern astrophysics.
