This comprehensive and accessible book, written by a renowned international expert in the field, provides a thorough exploration of the key concepts that are essential for understanding the latest advancements in the study of supermassive black holes. These include accretion disc misalignment, disc breaking and tearing, chaotic accretion, binary supermassive hole mergers, the demographics of supermassive black holes, and the profound effects of feedback on their host galaxies. The book adopts a predominantly analytical approach, delving into intricate discussions of the underlying physics, encompassing gas dynamics, ideal and non-ideal magnetohydrodynamics, force-free electrodynamics, accretion disc physics, and the properties of the Kerr metric. It emphasizes areas where conventional assumptions may be inadequate and encourages readers to engage in critical thinking about current models. This volume serves as an invaluable resource for graduate or Masters courses in astrophysics and serves as a handy handbook for active researchers in the field. eBook formats feature color figures, while print formats are limited to greyscale.
