This book provides a comprehensive and authoritative account of our understanding of the behaviour of hot dense matter in the Universe.In the first part of the book Dr Weber derives the nuclear equations of state of neutron star matter in the framework of relativistic field theory. In the second part of the book models of rapidly rotating neutron stars (pulsars) are constructed in the framework of general relativity theory using the equations of state derived earlier as input data. Predictions from these models are then compared with astrophysical observations.
