A landmark work by the outstanding Soviet astrophysicist Iosif Shklovsky (1916–1985), this book is recognized as the world's first monograph entirely devoted to the phenomenon of supernova explosions. Published in 1966, it systematically presents observational data and provides a profound analysis of the physical processes in supernova remnants, which are key sources of non-thermal radio emission. With special focus on the Crab Nebula, Shklovsky establishes the crucial link between supernovae and fundamental astrophysical problems: the origin of cosmic rays, nucleosynthesis of heavy elements, and stellar evolution. Combining encyclopedic scope with clarity, this edition became an instant classic and exerted a tremendous influence on the development of modern astrophysics.
