This single, coherent review of the theory behind extrasolar planet formation and interaction systematically covers all aspects of the topic, including different formation processes, planet-planet scattering, giant planets and brown dwarfs. With a chapter on observation, careful referencing and an elaborate bibliography at the end of each chapter, this is indispensable reading for researchers, theorists and observers alike.
