Preface
The book you hold serves as a handbook useful for graduate students and astronomers in their early career who wish to have a quick introduction to the concepts of the interstellar medium, nebulae, and triggered star formation. The present work is neither a textbook nor an overview. The aim is to provide some key work for the reader with the necessary updates in the field. At the same time particular effort has been paid toward an outreach type of presentation for the majority of the topics covered. Following that way of thinking and in order to bring the reader a step closer to the subject of nebulae, images taken from one of the world’s most talented astronomy photographers, Kallias Ioannidis, have been used.
