I've been browsing through these many pages (links at the bottom of each page).
While I already knew a great deal of this information, I've found that for me, the presentation of the content is clear (although there are a few typos here and there, unfortunate for a university scholarly work) and the examples excellent (although I'm not in a position to judge the accuracy of all the math formulae present . . .); and I did learn a great many detailed facts I didn't know before (like the Silicon fusion stage of an ABG star on the way to Supernova is thought to last a single day; i.e. the star will burn through the entire content of Silicon ash from the Oxygen fusion stage in approximately twenty-four hours).
Anyway, for any who like to read about Astronomy/Cosmology, etc.:
