Synopsis
Cosmic rays are an essential part of the universe. This book reviews our present knowledge of cosmic rays, describing how they are born in a wide range of cosmic processes, how they are accelerated and how they behave during their journey across the Galaxy.

Review
Review of 1st Edition: "... carefully crafted and well-written." --(Stefan Westerhoff, Columbia University, Physics Today, September 2004)
Review of 1st Edition, "This publication ... is aimed at serious students of the subject. ... Arranged in two parts, Stanev first describes the standard model of cosmic rays and the interactions that are important ... . The second part describes the challenges of current cosmic ray research ... . It is a must read for those with a passion to find out more about the high energy universe." --(Roger Feasey, Journal of the Auckland Astronomical Society AAS, August, 2005)
Review of 1st Edition, "Todor Stanev ... has distilled the essence of cosmic ray physics. It is a magnificent achievement and will be invaluable for workers in the field. It should also be available for consultation by researchers in related disciplines ... there will also be a need to make use of excellent list of referenced material." --(Roger Clay, The Physicist, Vol. 41 (5), September/October, 2004)
From the Back Cover
This is a textbook for graduate students entering the field but at the same time a cosmic ray manual for high energy astrophysicists and its first part easy to read for the general astronomer. The first part describes the standard model of cosmic rays based on our understanding of modern particle physics. The acceleration scenario is presented in some detail in supernovae explosions as well as in the passage of cosmic rays through the Galaxy. Experimental data in the atmosphere as well as underground are compared with theoretical models. The second part is devoted to contemporary cosmic ray research like the analysis of shower phenomena, the discussion of the end of the cosmic spectrum and, finally, high energy neutrino astronomy.
