"Science with the Square Kilometre Array", eds: C. Carilli, S. Rawlings, New Astronomy Reviews, Vol.48, Elsevier, December 2004

In a series of meetings starting in Groningen, the Netherlands (August 2002) and culminating in a science retreat in Leiden (November 2003), the SKA International Science Advisory Committee (ISAC) conceived of, and carried-out, a complete revision of the SKA science case.

The book can be acquired through the International SKA Project Office at the price of Euro 30 (excluding VAT and shipping costs).
