Book Synopsis
This book presents in a simple style the success story of modern astrophysics — how the application of known physics to models of stars can, together with the observational data, help us understand what stars are made of, how they live and how they die. The account is non-technical but scientifically accurate. It is interspersed with anecdotes and analogies to make the subject matter readable and understandable even to a lay reader with some basic scientific background.

Table of Contents
Stars and Humans/Light The Storehouse of Information; The Vital Statistics of Stars; How Far are the Stars; A Star is Born; The Secret of Stellar Energy; Stars as Fusion Reactors; When Stars Explode; Very Dense Stars; Black Holes; Future Challenges.
