A monographic book over the sun his structure ,the magnetic structure of his spots,the nuclear processes in her core:the carbón cicle and the proton-proton chain,his life and death;also touchs other clases of stars,explains the Hertzsprung-Russel diagram and the Chandesakar limit;all in the great popularicing style of Gamow
It was my first ever science book written by a foreign writer. I still read it time to time. Even after 60+ years of publication this book is still relevant and educative. George Gamow was one of the best popular science writers.
