"Stellar Physics" is a an outstanding book in the growing body
of literature on star formation and evolution. Not only does the
author, a leading expert in the field, very thoroughly present the
current state of knowledge on stellar physics, but he handles with
equal care the many problems that this field of research still
faces. A bibliography with well over 1000 entries makes this book
an unparalleled reference source.
"Stellar Evolution and Stability" is the second of two volumes and
can be read, as can the first volume "Fundamental Concepts and
Stellar Equilibrium," as a largely independent work. It traces in
great detail the evolution of protostars towards the main sequence
and beyond this to the last stage of stellar evolution, with the
corresponding vast range from white dwarfs to supernovae
explosions, gamma-ray bursts and black hole formation. The book
concludes with special chapters on the dynamical, thermal and
pulsing stability of stars.
This second edition is carefully updated in the areas of
pre-supernova models, magnetorotational supernovae, and the theory
of accretion disks around black holes. Additional sections have
been added on strange quark stars, jet formation and collimation,
radiation-driven winds in strong gravitational fields and gamma-ray
bursts.
