The?rsteditionofthistextappearedin1994.Shortlyafterthethirdprinting,
our editor suggested that we attempt a second edition because new
devel-
mentsinstellarstructureandevolutionhadmadeouroriginalworkoutdated.
We (the original authors, CJH and SDK) reluctantly agreed but with
res- vations due to the e?ort involved. Our initial reluctance
disappeared when we were able to convince (cajole, twist the arm
of, etc.) our new coauth- colleague Virginia Trimble to join us.
(Welcome Virginia ) We (i.e., all three of us) hope that you agree
that the present edition is a great improvement compared to the
1994 e?ort. Our objectives in this edition are the same ones we set
forth in 1994: Whatyouwill?ndisatextdesignedforourtargetaudience:
thety- cal senior undergraduate or beginning graduate student in
astronomy or astrophysics who wishes an overview of stellar
structure and e- lution with just enough detail to understand the
general picture. She or he can go on from there to more specialized
texts or directly to the research literature depending on talent
and interests. To this end, this text presents the basic physical
principles without chasing all the (interesting ) details. For
those of you familiar with the ?rst edition, you will ?nd that some
things have not been changed substantially (F = ma is still F =
ma), while othersde?nitelyhave.Forexample,
