Early texts on pulsars dealt almost exclusively with rotation-powered ones, while later texts on X-ray binaries concentrated almost entirely on accretion-powered pulsars. This is the first book to treat the two kinds of pulsars on the same footing, stressing the connection between their physical pro...
