5.0 out of 5 stars Just perfect!, January 22, 2003
This review is from: Principles of Stellar Evolution and Nucleosynthesis (Paperback)
A standard introductory textbook of nuclear astrophysics written by a real expert in a superb style. It has taught nuclear astrophysics to most of us and will teach many more. I keep refering to it all the time. It is my favorite. I warmly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A standard reference on stellar structure and evolution, May 3, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Principles of Stellar Evolution and Nucleosynthesis (Paperback)
"Principles of Stellar Evolution and Nucleosynthesis" is a standard work on stellar structure and evolution. It is clearly written and approachable even by a senior undergraduate. It is a "must" for anyone seriously interested in stellar astrophysics.

4.0 out of 5 stars essential, November 5, 2011
By 
Dr Jay "ljison" (Chicago, IL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Principles of Stellar Evolution and Nucleosynthesis (Paperback)
Classic text and essential primer for understanding stellar evolution and nuclear astrophysics. This was a required supplementary text for my upper division undergraduate course, but can be used in for a graduate course as well. Clayton provides some good, worked-out example problems with hints and the solution provided in the text. Arriving at the given solution still provides a challenge to the student. There are no end of chapter problems, so if you are a professor looking for a text with homework problems you may want to use another text as your primary. However, if your ultimate goal is that your students understand the material, this text should at least be on your 'recommended reading' list.
