"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
'This is an enlightening book, full of vivid physics. It fills a long-standing gap in the astrophysical literature and will stand as the foundation of the rapidly growing field of stellar winds.' Norbert Langer, University of Potsdam
'... for those interested in a deeper theoretical understanding of stellar winds, the book is certainly to be recommended.' Rainer Wieler, Meteroritics & Planetary Science
'This is an excellent textbook. ... an invaluable resource ... certainly a requisite purchase for anyone starting a study of stellar winds.' Raman Prinja, The Observatory
'Stellar winds are ubiquitous, but their properties and mechanisms span an enormous range. This badly needed book by two well known researchers brings together theory and observation to provide an excellent, integrated treatment of a fascinating subject.' Hollis R. Johnson, Indiana University
Written by two pioneers of the field, this clearly written textbook is the first to provide a comprehensive introduction to the observations and theories of stellar winds. It is designed for advanced undergraduate and graduate students and researchers, based on courses taught in Europe and the US. Seventy problems (with answers) are included for coursework or self-study.
