5.0 out of 5 stars A well-written concise introduction to stellar atmospheres., June 26, 1999
By A Customer
An outstanding review of basic principles of physics used in interstellar physics and stellar atmospheres. A salubrious touch of examples and real data make this book invaluable to any intermediate astronomy student with a good physics background.

4.0 out of 5 stars Introduction to Stellar Astrophysics Vol 2, April 2, 2008
By James (North Carolina, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Introduction to Stellar Astrophysics: Volume 2 (Hardcover)
This is an excellent series Vol 1 thur 3 for the person wishing to review the basics of stellar astrophysics. I stress the words review for the author assumes at least a basic level of knowledge on how astronomical data is measured. The reader is cautioned to be versed in basic mathematical skills up to the beginning calculus level as detailed worked out examples are not provided in the text. At the conclusion of this and Volumes 1 and 3 are a series of chapter review problems for which there are no answers provided. Volume 1 and 3 deal with stellar data and interiors.

This is a good set of volumes and worth having if you are knowledgeable in the subject. It is not a self teaching set but a sound set to be used for classroom work at the intermediate level.

My only real complaint was that the author did not provide worked out answers to the problem sets at the end of each book.
