This edited volume describes many aspects of current research on solar flares, emphasizing recent progress in understanding their X-ray and gamma-ray emissions. Several of the chapters deal comprehensively with the problems of particle acceleration, conversion of particle energy into various forms of radiation, and the inference of physical processes from
observations. Other chapters deal with the full breadth and richness of flare observations, including microflares and nanoflares.

This volume is aimed at graduate students and researchers in solar physics and space science.
