This book is devoted to one of the most active domains of atomic physics - atomic physics of heavy positive ions. During the last 30 years, this terrain has attracted enormous attention from both experimentalists and theoreticians. We hope the reader will find this book as instructive and exciting as we have found it while assembling the material.
