<p><b>This is a balanced textbook presenting the theory and observations of stars and their evolution¿a cornerstone of Astrophysics.</b><p><i>Decoding the Stars</i> is a companion volume to <i>Decoding the Cosmos</i> from astrophysics teacher and researcher, Professor Judith Irwin. The text presents an accessible, student-friendly guide to the key theories and principles of stars, emphasizing the close connection between observation and theory. <p>To aid in reader comprehension, the text includes further online resources and problems at the end of each chapter. Many examples throughout the text illustrate the important physics in a given process without resorting to complex numerical modelling. However, some problems introduce numerical modelling results using appropriate online resources. <p>Sample topics covered in <i>Decoding the Stars</i> include: <ul><li>The Sun, gaseous and radiative processes</li><li>Stellar interiors, energy transport mechanisms, stellar cores and nuclear energ
