Astrophysics of Red Supergiants and Understanding Stellar Evolution
Professor Claudia Tanja Mierke
Leipzig University, Germany
“It was really wonderful to work with IOP to create my two Physics of Cancer books. Everything was fast and the support was excellent. I was always guided and the proofreading was very good. The promotion of my books is great. The visibility was increased greatly by selecting my two books for the World Cancer Day promotions and including it in the Biophysical Society Series.”
Physics of Cancer, Volume 1 (Second Edition) & Physics of Cancer, Volume 2 (Second Edition)
Professor Jatinder V Yakhmi
Fellow of National Academy of Sciences of India
“My overall experience during the writing of this book, all through, has been very satisfying. Ms Caroline Mitchell, the Commissioning Editor of ebooks at IOP Publishing, and her team of ebooks Editorial Assistants, first Mr Daniel Heatley, and later Mr Robert Trevelyan, and also Chris Benson have been providing me all guidance and help during the preparation of this book. Their faith in my text, scientifically and even grammatically was very reassuring. I have done books, both co-edited and co-authored, but always thought authoring a science book SOLO would be tough, but this partnership with IOPP has emboldened me to try solo-authoring again, soon.”
Harold A McAlister
Regents’ Professor Emeritus of Astronomy, Georgia State University, USA
“One of the great pleasures of writing this book was working with the very talented editorial and production people on your staff. They were very responsive to all of my questions and suggestions. IOP is fortunate indeed to have such fine and talented people working with authors throughout the entire course of recruiting and producing new books. I would look forward to working with them all again should another book undertaking arise.”
Seeing the Unseen: Mount Wilson’s role in high angular resolution astronomy
Dr Belinda Wilkes
Senior Astrophysicist at the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian, USA
“I would definitely recommend working with IOP for the publication of any technical book; their energy, diligence, the range of expertise, their flexibility in working with a demanding author and editor in myself, prompt responses to my many questions and attention to detail and, design in the finished product is all exemplary. It was a pleasure to work with them. Thank you, IOP.”

Modern Optimization Methods for Science, Engineering and Technology
Professor Megan J. Povey
University of Leeds, UK
“My book was published in conjunction with the conference Physics in Food Manufacturing and complements the presentations given, many of which are now available on line on the IOP website. It is also possible that the book will form the basis for a postgraduate course on Food Physics. Every step of the way I was aided by IOP and IOP publishing, including a great article about the conference in Physics World by Joe McEntee which has really increased the visibility of the subject. This is especially important since one aim of the book and the conference was to demonstrate to young people at the beginning of their careers that there can be a great future for them in the Food Industry. In particular, that applying physics to real world problems does not mean an end to theoretical and fundamental tasks in physics.”
Professor Vinod Kumar Khanna
Academy of Scientific & Innovative Research, India
“I have published my book entitled, Extreme-Temperature and Harsh-Environment Electronics: Physics, Technology and Applications with IOP ebooks and the whole process from manuscript to production was flawless.”
