Astrophysics.- Burbidge (E. Margaret) et al.. "Synthesis of the Elements in Stars", in Reviews of Modern Physics, vol. 29, pp.547-650, title browned, previous staple marks at gutter, light water-staining, ex-library copy with ink-stamps, light half cloth, abrasion to spine, light rubbing to extremities, 4to, Pennsylvania, 1957. *** One of the most important works in modern astrophysics, establishing the theory of stellar nucleosynthesis. The landmark work is known as B2FH, as a reflection of the names of those who worked on the paper: Margaret Burbidge, Geoffrey Burbidge, William Alfred Fowler, and Fred Hoyle. Carl Sagan's famous phrase, "We are all made of star stuff", directly reflections the conclusions of this work. Also included in this volume is Richard Feynman's only publication on superconductivity, "Superfluidity and Superconductivity" where he explores this topic from a quantum mechanical perspective.
