      Figer, Donald (Springer: ASSL (Astrophysics and Space Science Library), 2004-09)
      Massive stars define the upper limits of the star formation process, dominate the energetics of their local environs, and significantly affect the chemical evolution of galaxies. Their role in starburst galaxies and the ...
