This comprehensive volume reviews our understanding of the origin
and evolution of elements, from stellar nucleosynthesis to the
chemical evolution of the cosmos. With chapters by leading
authorities in the field, it describes models of how the elements
are produced by stars, the nuclear processes involved, and how the
quantity of elements evolved in our Galaxy and distant galaxies.
The observed chemical composition of stars in different locations
within our Galaxy and nearby galaxies is discussed, as are the
compositions of hot and cold gases, of dust grains found between
stars and in meteorites, and of the integrated light from distant
galaxies and quasars. This authoritative volume is a valuable
resource for graduate students and professional research
astronomers.
