Neutron stars are the universe's most compact astronomical objects observable directly, offering a unique opportunity to study physics in extreme conditions not replicable on Earth. Their complex phenomena require knowledge across various scientific fields, including nuclear and condensed matter physics, plasma physics, quantum electrodynamics, and relativistic magneto-hydrodynamics. These stars also serve as crucial test beds for general relativity and potential sources of gravitational waves. This interdisciplinary nature makes neutron star research captivating for both seasoned researchers and newcomers alike. The book aims to be a comprehensive reference, reviewing advancements since the inception of pulsar astronomy while addressing key questions: What have we learned, how did we acquire this knowledge, what are the significant open questions, and what new tools and observations are necessary to explore these inquiries further? The contributors, who have dedicated much of their careers to studying neutron stars and pulsars, have crafted educational and thorough review articles tailored for beginners, students, and emerging scientists. This resource will be invaluable for these audiences, providing essential insights into the ongoing exploration of neutron stars.
