Recent research on the solar-stellar system has been triggered by a host of recent observational data, in particular from space based observations. For this conference the major topics selected centered on new measurement capabilities (magnetic fields and infrared, with specific emphasis on the new IRAS results), important classes of stars (F stars, M dwarfs and giants, and pre-main sequence stars), and interesting unanswered questions (the nature of nonthermal phenomena, heating processes, angular momentum evolution, and the existence and cause of the corona/wind dividing line). Each section is opened by two or more invited lectures aimed at a wide audience, including graduate students, and continues with some research papers. The proceedings also record the two general discussions on the role of magnetic fields in cool star atmospheres and the role of monitoring programs for studies of cool stars (see also Lecture Notes in Physics Vol. 292).

The series of ‘Cool Star’ meetings concentrates on the astrophysics of low-mass stars (with masses similar to that of the Sun and lower), including the Sun. The meeting in St. Andrews, Scotland, was the 15th in this series, and focused in particular on the origin of low-mass stars and their planets, as well as the properties of their atmospheres. This volume provides a comprehensive overview of the science presented by the 350 participants of this meeting. The book is suitable for researchers and graduate students interested in the astrophysics of cool stars and the Sun.

Traces the long history of some of the major ideas about cell division in animals, provides an account of the current knowledge about it, describes division in different kinds of cells, and proposes explanations of the mechanisms underlying the visible events. From experiments devised to test theories, shows that the forces necessary to deform animal cells to the degree shown in cytokinesis seem to originate from the interaction of linear polymers and motor molecules that play roles in force production, motion, and shape change that occur in other phases of the cell's biology. Accessible to non-specialists in cellular and developmental biology. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Annotation Contributions from international researchers attending the 1999 conference in Spain are organized into sections on the formation of stars and planets, advances in solar physics, chemical abundances as diagnostics of stellar structure, unsolved problems in stellar activity, and the impact of space missions on the study of cool stars. A sampling of topics includes accretion shocks and winds in T Tauri stars, solar atmospheric dynamics, light element depletion in F- and G- type stars, latest results in Doppler imaging, and the Hipparcos Mission legacy for cool stars. The included CD-ROM contains all the contributions given at the conference in their entirety, including supporting images, animations, and films. Annotation c.
