Summary	This book presents a collection of contributions from the 'International School of Physics' "Enrico Fermi", held in Varenna, Italy in July 2008. This is the second school devoted to the astrophysics of galaxy clusters, and comes four years after the first; 'Background Microwave Radiation and Intra-cluster Cosmology'. The motivation for this second school was provided by the significant expansion in research into these, the largest gravitationally bound systems, and by the great interest in multifaceted observational, theoretical and numerical simulations of clusters. Topics were deal.
Contents	Title Page; Indice; Preface; Gruppo fotografico dei partecipanti al Corso; Basic properties of clusters of galaxies and the physics of the intracluster gas; Introduction; Properties of clusters and our basic theoretical understanding; Dark matter in clusters; Spatial distribution of dark matter in clusters; Sizes of clusters; Galaxy content of clusters; Intracluster medium; The mass function of clusters; The formation of clusters-mergers and accretion; Physics of the intracluster gas; Physical state of the intracluster gas: local thermal state; Kinetic equilibrium.
