Customer Reviews
Comprehensive but not all that well structured - Rated I teach an undergraduate stellar astrophysics course. This text was recommended by the previous lecturer. I found it to be comprehensive, treating topics in some depth and with reasonable mathematical detail. However, it did not present a well-structured story- each chapter is only loosely connected to the last, and there is no "big picture" of stellar structure or evolution. It is also rather dry, with not very many figures, and frankly while I found it a useful backup to dip into to consult, reading it sent me to sleep! It is quite good, but there are livelier treatments (notably the book by Prialnik). So ultimately I found it rather unsatisying- it feels more like a selection of interesting topics rather than a comprehensive overview. Brilliant for Astronomy And Astrophysics students!!!! - Rated I found this book to be of great worth especially if you are on a course that covers this subject. It goes into detail and explains things really well, it is really worth buying and you will refer to it again and again!!!
