This long-awaited second edition of the classical textbook on Stellar Structure and
Evolution by Kippenhahn and Weigert is a thoroughly revised version of the original
text. Taking into account modern observational constraints as well as additional physical
effects such as mass loss and diffusion, Achim Weiss and Rudolf Kippenhahn have succeeded
in bringing the book up to the state-of-the-art with respect to both the presentation
of stellar physics and the presentation and interpretation of current sophisticated
stellar models. The well-received and proven pedagogical approach of the first edition
has been retained. The book provides a 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. Just as the
first edition, which remained a standard work for more than 20 years after its first
publication, the second edition will be of lasting value not only for students but
also for active researchers in astronomy and astrophysics
