Gravity's Fatal Attraction: Black Holes in the Universe Van Mitchell Begelman and Martin Rees is an English-language study book that offers insight into the nature and importance of black holes in the universe. The book is richly illustrated with images from both terrestrial and space telescopes, supplemented with computer models.
This third, fully revised edition covers recent discoveries, such as gravitational waves from merging black holes and neutron stars, the first detailed images of the region around the event horizon, and observations of stellar remnants that have been torn apart by supermassive black holes. The authors combine theoretical insights with observations, without using mathematical formulas, making complex processes easy to understand.
The book is suitable for higher education and for others who are interested in astrophysics, cosmology, and physics. This reference work provides an in-depth overview of black holes and their role in the evolution of the universe.
