Excerpt from The New Heavens
Fourteen years ago, in a book entitled The Study of Stellar Evolution (university of Chi cago Press, I attempted to give in untech nical language an account of some modern methods of astrophysical research. This book is now out of print, and the rapid progress of science has left it completely out of date. As I have found no op portunity to prepare a new edition, or to write an other book of similar purpose, I have adopted the simpler expedient of contributing occasional articles on recent developments to Seribner': Magazine, three of which are included in the present volume.
