About this title

Review:

"Aiming his book at the interested lay reader, Aller has written an excellent and detailed account of where stars come from, what makes them shine, how they evolve, and what happens when their lives have run their course." Astronomy

"Aller's remarkable book is highly recommended as a brief, nonmathematical survey of the basics of modern astrophysics." Choice
