Introduction to Stellar Astrophysics: Volume 3
This book is the final one in a series of three texts which together provide a modern, complete and authoritative account of our present knowledge of the stars. There is an emphasis on the basic physics governing stellar structure and the basic ideas on which our understanding of stellar structure is based. It discusses the internal structure and the evolution of stars, and is completely self-contained.
Careful comparison is made between theory and observation, and the author has thus provided a lucid and balanced introductory text for the student. The book also provides a comprehensive discussion of stellar evolution. As for volumes 1 and 2, volume 3 is self-contained and can be used as an independent textbook.
The author has not only taught but has also published many original papers in this subject. Her clear and readable style should make this text a first choice for undergraduate and beginning graduate students taking courses in astronomy and particularly in stellar astrophysics.
