      abstract = {The outstanding question in astronomy at the turn of the  twentieth century was: What are the stars and why are they  as they are? In this volume, the story of how the answer to  this fundamental question was unravelled is narrated in an  informal style, with emphasis on the underlying physics.  Although the foundations of astrophysics were laid down by  1870, and the edifice was sufficiently built up by 1920,  the definitive proof of many of the prescient conjectures  made in the 1920s and 1930s came to be established less  than ten years ago. This book discusses these recent  developments in the context of discussing the nature of the  stars, their stability and the source of the energy they  radiate.},
