Publications on the evolution of stars?

Can anyone suggest a book that goes into detail on the evolution stars? I very much enjoyed as much as was discussed in Kip Thorne's Black Holes book and would like to read more about stars.

"Stellar Structure and Evolution" by Kippenham is a good final year undergrad level course.

Introduction to Stellar Astrophysics (2 volumes ) by Erika Bohm-Vitense is fairly readable.
