This text presents modern astrophysics using the basic tools of physics. The text can be used for a course in stellar structure and evolution, with additional material on the solar system, galactic structure, dynamics, evolution, and cosmology.
The Book's ok, but it's really not completely transparent in terms of material. On top of that, it's just too blasted long. I don't have time to read all that material.
