The first edition of George Rybicki's and Alan Lightman's book "Radiative Processes in Astrophysics" has gained a loyal following since its publication because of its insightful, comprehensive and understandable treatment of the complicated radiation phenomena that play a role in astrophysics and astronomy. It has helped generations of students to grasp the physical fundamentals of these processes and has equipped them with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in their studies and their future career.

The new edition of this classic text is completely revised, contains new problems (with solutions) - now around 100 in total -, boxes featuring contemporary phenomena and discoveries in astrophysics related to the material covered in the chapters, and appendices that review the basics of quantum mechanics and statistical mechanics.
