From the preface: "This is the second Fermi School devoted to the astrophysics of galaxy clusters, held 4 years after the School `Background Microwave Radiation and Intracluster Cosmology.'" Papers and written versions of seminars from the 2008 meeting address basic properties of clusters of galaxies and the physics of the intracluster gas, simulating galaxy clusters, galaxy systems in the optical and infrared, recent results from S-Z measurements, chemo-dynamical simulations of the intra-cluster medium, the supermodel of the intracluster plasma, simulations of the thermodynamics of the intra-cluster medium, and cluster weak gravitational lensing, among other topics. The collection is not indexed.
