Salaris M., Cassisi S. Evolution of Stars and Stellar Populations

John Wiley & Sons Ltd, West Sussex, England, 2005. — 388 p. — ISBN: 0470092203.Evolution of Stars and Stellar Populations is a comprehensive presentation of the theory of stellar evolution and its application to the study of stellar populations in galaxies. Taking a unique approach to the subject, this self-contained text introduces first the theory of stellar evolution in a clear and accessible manner, with particular emphasis placed on explaining the evolution with time of observable stellar properties, such as luminosities and surface chemical abundances.Stars and the Universe
