      abstract = {"In this well-illustrated text, Kenneth R. Lang explains  the life cycle of stars, from the dense molecular clouds  that are stellar nurseries to the enigmatic nebulae some  stars leave behind in their violent ends. Free of  mathematical equations and technical jargon, Lang's lively  and accessible text provides physical insights into how  stars such as our Sun are born, what fuels them and keeps  them bright, how they evolve and the processes by which  they eventually die. The book demonstrates the sheer scope  and variety of stellar phenomena in the context of the  universe as a whole. Boxed focus elements enhance and  amplify the discussion for readers looking for more depth.  Featuring more than 150 figures, including color plates,  The Life and Death of Stars is a modern and up-to-date  account of stars written for a broad audience, from  armchair astronomers and popular science readers to  students and teachers of science"--},
