This book offers an authoritative collection of papers incorporating the latest results and understanding about supernovae, including SN1987A. There are several chapters reviewing all the radio through infrared, visible, and ultraviolet to X-rays and gamma-rays but also neutrinos. Other chapters deal with the classification of supernovae, depending on their spectra and light curves. Three chapters treat supernovae theory, including a novel idea of a fractal' burning front and another on the behavior of neutron stars. This thorough review of supernovae observations and theory will appeal to observers as well as theorists in astronomy and astrophysics.
