nurseries, the lives of young stellar objects, and their interaction with the
interstellar medium as it is known today. The book describes the
complex physical processes involved in both the creation of stars and
during their young lives. It illustrates how these processes reveal
themselves from radio wavelengths to high energy X-rays, with special
reference toward high energy signatures. A discussion of key analytical
techniques demonstrates how modern research in this area is pursued.
