CNO Isotopes in Astrophysics Proceedings of a Special Iau Session Held on August 30, 1976, in Grenoble, France

On behalf of the IAU Commission 48 "High Energy Astrophysics" a special session on "CNO Isotopes in Astrophysics" was held at the General Assembly of IAU in Grenoble on August 30, 1976. This topic was chosen since it has recently included many exciting developments in various dom...
