| Synopsis: |
"What a splendid book! Reading it is a joy, and for me, at least, continuing reading it became compulsive. . . . Chandrasekhar is a distinguished astrophysicist and every one of the lectures bears the hallmark of all his work: precision, thoroughness, lucidity." Sir Hermann Bondi, "Nature" The late S. Chandrasekhar was best known for his discovery of the upper limit to the mass of a white dwarf star, for which he received the NobelPrize in Physics in 1983. He was the author of many books, including"The Mathematical Theory of Black Holes" and, most recently, "Newton's Principia for the Common Reader. "" |
