It focuses on old stellar systems because these are the fossil record of galaxy formation and provide invaluable information ont he evolution of cosmic structures and the universe as a whole. The aim is to present results obtained in the past few years for theoretical developments in low mass star research and in advances in our knowledge of the evolution of old stellar systems. A particularly representative case is the recent discovery of multiple stellar populations in galactic globular clusters that represents one of the hottest topics in stellar and galactic astrophysics and is discussed in detail.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSanti Cassisi has authored about 270 scientific papers, 150 of them in peer-reviewed journals, and the title \u003ci\u003eEvolution of Stars and Stellar Populations.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBook Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wiley-VCH\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2013-04-22\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardcover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9783527410767\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 538\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Wiley-VCH","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44379789262988,"sku":"9783527410767","price":159.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783527410767.jpg?v=1768922562","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783527410767","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
