Revue de presse

It is fun in the same sense that Feynman's Lectures on Physics Volume 3 or Leighton's Principles of Modern Physics was fun to read some 40 years ago when I was a beginning graduate student. --Physics Today

A serious session with Padmanabhan's book does for the mind what a vigorous workout in the gym does for the body ... even the most distinguished professor of astrophyiscs will gain fresh insights from An Invitation to Astrophysics. --American Journal of Physics

This book is a nice introduction to several fields of astrophysics. It is useful for students interested in this special field, but also for researchers of several other fields, as it concentrates on the fundamental questions instead of going into too much details. --Zentralblatt MATH
