The existence of blue straggler stars, which appear younger,
hotter, and more massive than their siblings, is at odds with a
simple picture of stellar evolution. Such stars should have
exhausted their nuclear fuel and evolved long ago to become cooling
white dwarfs. They are found to exist in globular clusters, open
clusters, dwarf spheroidal galaxies of the Local Group, OB
associations and as field stars. This book summarises the many
advances in observational and theoretical work dedicated to blue
straggler stars. Carefully edited extended contributions by
well-known experts in the field cover all the relevant aspects of
blue straggler stars research: Observations of blue straggler stars
in their various environments; Binary stars and formation channels;
Dynamics of globular clusters; Interpretation of observational data
and comparison with models. The book also offers an introductory
chapter on stellar evolution written by the editors of the book.
