''Dr James B Kaler explores the nature of stars, describing our current knowledge of their origin, variety, distribution, composition, and distinctive histories. Dr Kaler demonstrates that stars are the key to our comprehension of how the Universe evolved -- that the development, death, and birth of stars is intimately associated with our own origins and continued existence. From the calculations of Eratosthenes and Aristarchus to recent estimates of galactic motion and theories about dark matter, this book charts the development of the science of astronomy.''
