One of the world's most distinguished astrophysicists presents a
comprehensive theoretical treatment of the dynamical evolution of
globular clusters. Lyman Spitzer's research in this field established
the framework for decades of investigation. Now he summarizes in a
unified, systematic way this branch of theoretical astrophysics with its
still challenging problems.
Originally published in 1988.
