Description

The book begins with a historical introduction, "Star Formation: The Early History", that presents new material of interest for students and historians of science.

This is followed by two long articles on "Pre-Main-Sequence Evolution of Stars and Young Clusters" and "Observations of Young Stellar Objects".

These articles on the fascinating problem of star formation from interstellar matter give a thorough overview of present-day theories and observations.

The articles contain material so far unpublished in the astronomical literature.

The book addresses graduate students and can be used as a textbook for advanced courses in stellar astrophysics.
