«'This is a technical but important compendium to anyone studying star formation in galaxies.' Marios Karouzos, Nature Astronomy»
«'The language of chapters is uniformly aimed at the graduate and advanced undergraduate level, assuming familiarity with standard astrophysics terminology and at least a basic understanding of stellar evolution. Libraries supporting readers at this level will want to acquire this volume … Highly recommended.' T. Barker, Choice Magazine»
«'… if you want to know how to measure star formation (and why it is difficult), then this book can be recommended, both in itself and as an entry to the literature.' Steve Phillipps, The Observatory»
