ABSTRACT THIS tract is an authoritative exposition of problems of radiative equilibrium by one of the original workers in the subject. An initial chapter gives a summary of the general
theory and main problem to be treated, namely, the determination of the radiation field of a star when the coefficients of absorption and scattering, the emissivity and the law of scattering
are given. The method is based on the solutions of certain integral equations and is expounded in detail in the succeeding chapters, which deal in turn with the cases of purely absorbing
and grey material in local radiative equilibrium (Schwarzschild-Milne model) and that of monochromatic radiative equilibrium with scattering but zero emissivity (Schuster-Schwarz schild
model). On account of the rigorous analytical method employed, the book is one for the specialist rather than the general reader, and will prove a very useful guide for those interested in
the subject. Mathematical Problems of Radiative Equilibrium. Prof. Eberhard Hopf By. (Cambridge Tracts in Mathematics and Mathematical Physics, No. 31.) Pp. viii + 105. (Cambridge: At the
