This book provides an up-to-date account of active galaxies which are a major field of current astronomical research - up to a fifth of all research astronomers are working on active galaxies. Lists of such objects and their visual and imaged appearance in commercially available telescopes are an important component of this book. This is the first coherent and complete source of information for non-technical readers on an area of astronomy that fascinates many people. It makes sense of the chaotic and apparently innumerable types of violently active galaxies. It also provides the data and teaches the skills needed for users of small telescopes to observe and image some of these \"galaxies in turmoil\" for themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eActive galaxies involve some of the most extreme conditions and some of the most intriguing phenomena found anywhere in the universe.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWritten for amateur astronomers, school and college science students and for those with a more general interest in science, Galaxies in Turmoil provides a readable, non-mathematical account of one of the hottest areas of astronomical research.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eObserving details are given for 160 active galaxies, all of which are within the reach of amateur astronomers using small to medium-sized telescopes.
