Publisher's Synopsis
These two volumes present a timely and stimulating exposition of six major areas in astrophysics: the sun and solar-like stars; stellar structure and evolution; structure and evolution of galaxies; active galaxies and cosmology; interstellar and intergalactic medium, and astronomical instrumentation. Close to a hundred scientists from all over the world met in Tenerife to give their perspective on their areas of expertise. The two resulting volumes will be of lasting value to the astrophysical community.
