The Little Book of stars

The point of this book is to provide a brief, easy-to-read but comprehensive overview of stars: where they came from; what they are made of; what will happen to them, and what they mean to us from a scientific, aesthetic and cultural point of view. The book will focus on stars and astronomy, and will keep technical physics to a minimum.

First sentence: Day and night. Our lives are run by the flow of one to the other, the distinction as profound as anything we know.
