Atoms, Stars, and Nebulae

Intended primarily for the interested layman and the beginning student of astrophysics, this valuable paperback is the revised, up-to-date edition of the earlier highly praised volume by the present author and Professor Leo Goldberg. Generously illustrated throughout, it tells the story of how physics and astronomy work together to help our understanding of the interiors and exteriors of stars. As with all of the other books in the series, this paperback is a basic part of every astronomer's library......... (quoted from the back cover)
