The origin of stars is one of the principle mysteries of nature.
During the last two decades advances in technology have enabled
more progress to be made in the quest to understand stellar origins
than at any other time in history. The study of star formation has
developed into one of the most important branches of mod ern
astrophysical research. A large body of observational data and a
considerable literat ure now exist concerning this topic and a
1arge community of international astronomers and physicists devote
their efforts attempting to decipher the secrets of stellar birth.
Yet, the young astronomerjphysicist or more advanced researcher
desiring to obtain a basic background in this area of research must
sift through a very diverse and sometimes bewildering literature. A
literature which includes research in many discip1ines and sub
discip1ines of classical astrophysics from stel lar structure to
the interstellar medium and encompasses the entire range of the
electromagnetic spectrum from radio to gamma rays. Often, the
reward of a suc cessfu1 foray through the current literature is the
realization that the results can be obsolete and outdated as soon
as the ink is dry in the journal or the conference proceeding in
which they are published.
