About this book
This volume brings together contributions from many of the world's leading authorities on black hole accretion. The papers within represent part of a new movement to make use of the relative advantages of studying stellar mass and supermassive black holes and to bring together the knowledge gained from the two approaches. The topics discussed here run the gamut of the state of the art in black hole observational and theoretical work-variability, spectroscopy, disk-jet connections, and multi-wavelength campaigns on black holes are all covered.

Reviews
From the reviews:
"This book is a collection of chosen and commented articles on the subject of X-ray binaries, black hole systems and quasars. The authors first introduce a possible unified model for black hole X-ray binary jets. The discussion then continues with the relationship between these jets and the active galactic nuclei. … contains a lot of good references to papers of the most renown authors on black hole accretion. … is an inescapable reference for researchers working in experimental astrophysics." (Térence Delsate, Physicalia, Vol. 30 (2), 2008)
