This authoritative volume provides a comprehensive review of the origin and evolution of planetary nebulae. It covers all the stages of their evolution, carefully synthesizes observations from across the spectrum, and clearly explains all the key physical processes at work. Particular emphasis is placed on observations from space, using the Hubble Space Telescope, the Infrared Space Observatory, and the ROSAT satellite. This book presents a thoroughly modern understanding of planetary nebulae, integrating developments in stellar physics with the dynamics of nebular evolution. It also describes exciting possibilities such as the use of planetary nebulae in determining the cosmic distance scale, the distribution of dark matter and the chemical evolution of galaxies. This book provides graduate students with an accessible introduction to planetary nebulae, and researchers with an authoritative reference. It can also be used as an advanced text on the physics of the interstellar medium.

Berry Nahmia was born of Jewish parentage in the lovely Byzantine town Kastoria in the Macedonian province of Greece. In 1944, at eighteen years of age, she was torn from her home by the Nazis and deported along with her parents, brothers, sisters, grandparents, and relatives to the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp. Upon arrival at the camp she was selected for work as she watched the rest of her family taken to the crematoria and burned. Her experiences in the camp and her miraculous survival there and on the Death March is the story of an incredible determination to survive the horror suffered by more than 6,000,000 Jews of the Holocaust. This story of survival is chronicled in her book, A Cry for Tomorrow, written in Greek and published in Athens in 1989. Sensitivity translated by David R. Weinberg, Greek scholar and student of the Holocaust, this Greek chronicle has now been made available to the English speaking world.
