Editorial Review:
This text gives a complete and comprehensive treatment of the physics of the stellar interior and the underlying fundamental processes and parameters. The models developed to explain the stability, dynamics and evolution of the stars are presented, and great care is taken to detail the various stages in a star's life. The authors have written a unique text based on their own pioneering work in stellar modeling.
Since its publication, this textbook has come to be considered a classic by readers and teachers in astrophysics. This study edition is meant for students in astronomy and physics alike.

Among astro texts... 2008-11-17
This text supports most every assertion with lengthy and invaluable derivations that are useful in ensuring that students understand the material. The topics are covered with exceptional depth, and the explanations are unusually readable. Compared with other astrophysics textbooks marketed to a similar audience, _Stellar Structure and Evolution_ is the sort of resource that will follow me through future courses, and although it was only recommended (rather than required) for my current class, I'm extremely glad I decided to purchase it.
Pages coming off  2008-08-25
It arrived to me in Italy 20-15 days before the standard international shipping's time, in perfect conditions, as bought from the bookshop. Few days later the first page came off.
very nice book  2008-05-09
very nice book, clear and good written.
it permits me to pass the university exam, because the professor use it for his lessons.
just to know that it italy this book costs over 150 euro!
A star's lifetime 2004-07-29
What happens in the lifetime of a star? This basically is the subject of the book. It describes from basic physical principles where ever possible how a star is formed and how it burns. Kippenhahn shows how inside a star, the gravitational pressure is necessarily balanced by the outgoing radiation and matter pressure.
We see the cycle of how a star burns its hydrogen, synthesising helium in the process. Then, how heavier elements are formed. Finally, whether a star novas or not, depending on its mass.
The Hertzsprung-Russell diagram is shown as a concise way to describe the lifecycle trajectory of a star, over billions of years.
Well suited for physics students.
