Note publique d'information : Rotation is ubiquitous at each step of stellar evolution, from star formation to the
final stages, and it affects the course of evolution, the timescales and nucleosynthesis.
Stellar rotation is also an essential prerequisite for the occurrence of Gamma-Ray
Bursts. In this book the author thoroughly examines the basic mechanical and thermal
effects of rotation, their influence on mass loss by stellar winds, the effects of
differential rotation and its associated instabilities, the relation with magnetic
fields and the evolution of the internal and surface rotation. Further, he discusses
the numerous observational signatures of rotational effects obtained from spectroscopy
and interferometric observations, as well as from chemical abundance determinations,
helioseismology and asteroseismology, etc. On an introductory level, this book presents
in a didactical way the basic concepts of stellar structure and evolution in "track
1" chapters. The other more specialized chapters form an advanced course on the graduate
level and will further serve as a valuable reference work for professional astrophysicists
