The first biography of this major figure in American astronomy. This biography suggests that Walter Baade's greatest contribution to astrophysics was not his revision of Hubble's distance and age scales for the universe, but the discovery of two stellar populations: old and young stars. This extended the fields of stellar and galactic evolution.
