Stars and Relativity (Dover Books on Physics) Paperback – 28 Mar. 2003

As a non-science major I did find this book a little harder to read than some of the other mainstream authors - but I expected that. It was worth the effort. I confess I did skim over the harder to read parts! But it was an enjoyable read from an outstanding Russian scientist. Some of his works are very hard to get nowadays so I was very pleased to find this.

Excellent classic on astrophysics and general relativity. It has strong theoretical foundations which have far reaching applications in the related area. It can serve as a text for exceptionally motivated graduate and PhD students in astrophysics and relativity and also for researchers and teachers involved in theoretical issues of astrophysics.

met all of my expectations

Contains all that stuff I wanted to learn as a young student...answers to most questions.

I'm not reviewing the book - I'm reviewing the printed copy. Like most Dover books from a few years ago, the copy is decent but not outstanding. For the price, one can't complain. The pages are on the thin side and text from the obverse is visible if a single page is viewed in a well lit room. The binding is standard for a paperback. Characters are usually crisp, but there is some very mild ghosting - enough to be visible if looked for, but not enough to be distracting during ordinary reading. All in all, a great buy for the price and thank you Dover for keeping books like this in print!
