A comprehensive introduction to the physics of black holes intended for nonspecialists. The elementary theory of stellar structure and relativistic effects is explained. Equilibrium configurations in stellar contraction, the Schwarzschild radius and its implications, the mass defect, the redshift, perihelion advance, the equations of state of nondegenerate stars and degenerate matter, white dwarfs, neutron stars, and planets are discussed. The theory of black holes is considered, starting from the theory of gravitational collapse. The discussion covers the space-time around black holes, the gravitational field of a black hole, and rotating black holes. Methods for detecting black holes are explained. The galactic X-ray sources Hercules X-1 and Cygnus X-1 are discussed, and the reasons for concluding that Cygnus X-1 is a black hole and Hercules X-1 is a neutron star are explained.-
