Two theoretical astrophysicists who have been active in the field since the early 1960's tell the story in fluent prose. About half of the book covers most of the theoretical research done from 1940 to the close of the twentieth century, a large body of work that has to date been little explored by historians. The first chapter, which outlines the period from about 3000 B.C. to 1700 A.D., shows that at every stage in history human beings have had a particular understanding of the sun and stars, and that this has continually evolved over the centuries. Next the authors systematically address the immense mass of observations astronomy accumulated from the early seventeenth century to the early twentieth. The remaining four chapters examine the history of the field from the physicists perspective, the emphasis being on theoretical work from the mid-1840s to the late 1990's--from thermodynamics to quantum mechanics, from nuclear physics and magnetohydrodynamics to the remarkable advances through to the late 1960's, and finally, to more recent theoretical work. Intended mainly for students and teachers of astronomy, this book will also be a useful reference for practicing astronomers and scientifically curious general readers.StarsHistoryAstrophysicsHistorySunHistoryStarsHistory.AstrophysicsHistory.523.01/09Tassoul Jean Louis1597857Tassoul Monique1942-MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910807219203321A concise history of solar and stellar physics3984215UNINA
