This long-awaited graduate textbook, written by two pioneers of the
field, is the first to provide a comprehensive introduction to the
observations, theories and consequences of stellar winds. The rates
of mass loss and the wind velocities are explained from basic
physical principles. This book also includes chapters clearly
explaining the formation and evolution of interstellar bubbles, and
the effects of mass loss on the evolution of high- and low-mass
stars. Each topic is introduced simply to explain the basic
processes and then developed to provide a solid foundation for
understanding current research. This authoritative textbook is
designed for advanced undergraduate and graduate students and
researchers seeking an understanding of stellar winds and, more
generally, supersonic flows from astrophysical objects. It is based
on courses taught in Europe and the US over the past twenty years
and includes seventy problems (with answers) for coursework or
self-study.
