Lithium depletion in the Universe remains a matter of investigation This book aims to carry out a wide-ranging inquisitive review of over half a century of astronomical observations of lithium and astrophysical developments to understand its behaviour in diverse environments across the Universe. The scope is wide, from the primordial nucleosynthesis in the early universe, to the evolution in the Milky Way and other galaxies and the internal processes that determine the depletion or preservation in stars, brown dwarfs and exoplanets. The approach is to focus on the basic concepts, to describe the chronology of key observations and theoretical developments, with as little mathematical equations as possible, and to provide critical assessment of ongoing controversies and unsolved problems.

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.
