About this product
Product Information
This text describes the microscopic physics operating in stars and demonstrates how stars respond from formation, through hydrogen-burning phases, up to the onset of helium burning. The volume contains many illustrations and detailed numerical solutions to prepare beginning graduate students and senior undergraduates to program and calculate evolutionary models.

Reviews
'This is a book by one of the most prolific researchers in the area of stellar evolution, and he has plenty to teach practitioners in the field … [the] style is always clear and straightforward … This is not a book for the faint-hearted, but it is certainly full of fascinating detail which will repay study by the active researcher … Iben has produced a classic monograph, which compares well with classics of the past, and I am pleased to have a copy.' The Observatory
