Addressing the subject of stellar evolution from its basic theoretical aspect to current research, this book gives particular emphasis to the special challenges that confront the astrophysicist, namely the passive rather than active observation of astronomical objects and events. In addition to basic evolutionary concepts, Harpez introduces astrophysical phenomenon like the "cool" red giant, the intense white dwarf and the explosive supernova to show what can be learned from their unusual properties.
