Rezensionen

From the reviews: "AGB stars have red giants as progenitors, and are fated to become planetary nebulae and white dwarfs. This book comprises a set of papers dealing with all aspects of the physics of these stars. It is intended for a graduate study level ... . the chapters which are designed to be self-standing do provide interesting discussions about theory and corroborative observations, and I think there is lot that can be gleaned ... ." (Callum Potter, Journal of the British Astronomical Association, Vol. 114 (3), 2004)
