The outstanding question in astronomy at the turn of the twentieth century was: What are the stars and why are they as they are? In this volume, the story of how the answer to this fundamental question was unravelled is narrated in an informal style, with emphasis on the underlying physics. Although the foundations of astrophysics were laid down by 1870, and the edifice was sufficiently built up by 1920, the definitive proof of many of the prescient conjectures made in the 1920s and 1930s came to be established less than ten years ago. This book discusses these recent developments in the context of discussing the nature of the stars, their stability and the source of the energy they radiate.§Reading this book will get young students excited about the challenges that await them in the world of physics and astronomy, engineering and technology. It will also interest the general reader for the insights into the physics of stars offered by accessible drawings of the processes involved.§The readers will find Dr Srinivasan, an internationally acclaimed leader in this enterprise, to be a clear and enthusiastic guide to the wonders and mysteries of the cosmos.§Lord Martin Rees§Astronomer Royal§Master of Trinity College, Cambridge§"I know of no comparable book in the present-day literature that so successfully conveys the excitement of the development of ideas pertaining to the physics of stars, including the newest discoveries, and at the same time explains the fundamentals so well." §E P J van den Heuvel §Professor of Astrophysics §University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands§
