This volume, in honour of Evry Schatzman, contains in-depth reviews on central topics of modern astrophysics, such as stellar physics, covering stellar evolution, solar neutrinos, stellar rotation and spin down, convection transport processes, neutron stars, white dwarfs, and novae. All the talks were given by leading experts who had time both to develop the basics of their subject and to cover recent work. The volume is meant for both graduate students and researchers.
