A brief introduction for children of stellar evolution.

This is another book in Isaac Asimov's excellent "Library of the Universe" series that serves as a supplementary text for the introduction of astronomy for young children. This volume is filled with beautiful photographs of stars and discusses the life and ultimate fate of different types of stars. The book has been updated and revised by Francis Reddy in 1995 as "Star Cycles: The Life and Death of Stars." Asimov had passed away in 1992.
