Arthur Eddington - The Internal Constitution of the Stars - 1926

First edition. Published in 1926, Arthur Eddington’s work was a major landmark in the development of modern theoretical astrophysics. He not only effectively founded the study of stellar structure, constitution, and evolution, but also identified and established the foundational principles that underpin our current understanding of the subject. Its lasting influence is captured by H. N. Russell’s 1945 remark: “This volume has every claim to be regarded as a masterpiece of the first rank.” Wear to cover and head and tail of spine; inscription on front pastedown; internally clean.
