Accuracy of Element Abundances from Stellar Atmospheres Proceedings of Two Sessions Allocated at the IAU General Assembly in Baltimore, USA, August 1988

To get a reasonably realistic picture of the structure and evolution of stars one needs to know accurately the abundances of chemical elements and their isotopes in the stellar atmosphere and in the galactic environment of the stars. The articles collected in this volume give a modern review of the...
