is a rather unique book in the growing literature on star formation andevolution. Not only does the author, a leading expert in the field, give avery thorough description of the current knowledge about stellar physics, buthe handles with equal care the many problems that this field of researchstill faces. A bibliography with well over 650 entries makes this book anunparalleled source of references."Stellar Evolution and Stability" is thesecond volume and can be read, as can the first volume, as a largelyindependent work. It traces in great detail the evolution of the protostartowards the main sequence and beyond this to the last stage of stellarevolution, with the corresponding vast range from white dwarfs to the mightysupernovae explosions and blackhole formation. The book concludes withspecial chapters on the dynamical, thermal and pulsing stability of stars.
