H Gursky and R Ruffini (eds) Dordrecht, Holland: D Reidel 1975 pp xii + 438 price Dfl 135, $54 ( cased ), Dfl 95, $38 ( paperback ) This set of reviews is based on material presented to a meeting in February 1974 with the aim of communicating ‘to the largest possible scientific community the dramatic advances which have been made in recent years in the understanding of collapsed objects: neutron stars and black holes’. The articles present the important results to that date, emphasizing simple arguments rather than giving the detailed treatment a specialist would want (though many references are given to detailed works).
