Eduardo Martín has been a CSIC professor since 2009. He carried out his doctoral studies and research at the Institut d´Astrophysique de Paris and at the IAC. He has been a Marie Curie postdoctoral fellow at the Anton Pannekoek Institut of the University of Amsterdam and a professor at the Institute of Astronomy of the University of Hawaii. He was one of the proposers of the successful lithium test for brown dwarfs in the early 1990s, and he has investigated lithium in X-ray binaries, exoplanet hosts, halo stars, young solar-type stars, T Tauri stars, substellar-mass objects, and red giants.
Appearance of the element lithium in astronomical locations occasions so much spectroscopic examination and theoretical pondering that this IoP book (also available as an e-book) by Eduardo Martín should be welcomed by astronomers across the age spectrum from fresh research students through the experience continuum to retirees. This reviewer, now off the top end of the age spectrum, learnt a lot about the abundance of lithium in a wide variety of astronomical environments.
