The discovery that fusion reactions are responsible for the building of the light elements in the ""Big Bang"" and the subsequent development of the heavier elements in the stars and in exploding supernovae is one of the field's most exciting successes. In this engaging book, McCracken and Stott reexamine these discoveries in astrophysics and discuss the possibility that fusion reactions are not only our sun's source of power, but may also be indu 410 0$aComplementary science series. 606 $aNuclear fusion 606 $aNuclear reactions 615 0$aNuclear fusion. 615 0$aNuclear reactions. 676 $a539.7/64 700 $aMcCracken$b G.
