[Soren Molander · Rating 5 out of 5]

One of the most interesting physics books I have ever read

[Nick Black · Rating 2 out of 5]

2009-01-23, GT Barnes & Noble. Eh, rather more opaque and obsolete than I like to see from current Dover publications (although this might have gone out of print, in which case, good). A frankly unpleasant read, with no new material for anyone who's read Principles of Stellar Evolution and Nucleosynthesis or other such classics of the field. God bless you, Professor Chandrasekhar, but not your book.
