Star clusters are at the heart of astronomy, being key objects for
our understanding of stellar evolution and galactic structure.
Observations with the Hubble Space Telescope and other modern
equipment have revealed fascinating new facts about these galactic
building blocks. This book provides two comprehensive and
up-to-date, pedagogically designed reviews on star clusters by two
well-known experts in the field. Bruce Carney presents our current
knowledge of the relative and absolute ages of globular clusters
and the chemical history of our Galaxy. Bill Harris addresses
globular clusters in external galaxies and their use as tracers of
galaxy formation and cosmic distance indicators. The book is
written for graduate students as well as professionals in astronomy
and astrophysics.
