The Physics of Stars, Second Edition, is a concise introduction to the
properties of stellar interiors and consequently the structure and
evolution of stars. Strongly emphasising the basic physics, simple and
uncomplicated theoretical models are used to illustrate clearly the
connections between fundamental physics and stellar properties. This
text does not intend to be encyclopaedic, rather it tends to focus on
the most interesting and important aspects of stellar structure,
evolution and nucleosynthesis. In the Second Edition, a new chapter on
Helioseismology has been added, along with a list of physical
constants and extra student problems. There is also new material on
the Hertztsprung-Russell diagram, as well as a general updating of the
entire text. It includes numerous problems at the end of each chapter
aimed at both testing and extending student's knowledge.
