This book describes the nature, formation and evolution of accreting binaries, showing how extensive observations, accompanied by heavy simulations, allow astronomers to better understand the energetic phenomena occurring in these intriguing systems. Aimed at graduate students and researchers, this book provides an introduction to the topic, first describing the astrophysical basics of both single and binary stars, before moving on to detail the different types of accreting binary systems.
