Among the many works devoted to our space environment, this serious and objective book by Mr. Delobeau should occupy a special place. It is a sign of the times that the results of space research should no longer be confined to the circle of space technicians. There is scarcely any branch of science that evolves more rapidly than space research.

Proceedings of a Symposium organized by the Summer Advanced Study Institute, held at the University of California, Santa Barbara, Calif., August 4-15, 1969

Socrates knew all that was known by his contemporaries. It is true that Pico della Mirandola, Pius II, Leonardo da Vinci, and several other great minds were thoroughly in possession of considerable know ledge, and knew all that one could know, except no doubt for some techniques.

Proceedings of the Third ESRO Summer School in Space Physics, held in Alpbach, Austria, July 19-August 13, 1965

Proceedings of the 1999 Pacific Rim Conference

Our Sun is the nearest star and thus an ideal laboratory to study dynamic processes which are related to solar terrestrial physics.

Proceedings of the International Symposium on Supercomputing held in Tokyo, Japan, September 1-3, 1997

Proceedings of the Workshop held at Tonantzintla, Puebla, Mexico, 9-11 October 2000

This material also includes tables of line frequencies from 12 MHz to 30THz (AlOJLm) as well as FORTRAN computer code to calculate the fine structure components of the lines, to evaluate radial matrix integrals, and to calculate the departure coefficients of hydrogen in a cosmic environment.

Introduction The extragalactic X-ray background (XRB), discovered about 30 years ago, has been studied extensively with many X-ray experiments, in particular with the satel lites HEAO I and II (see ego Boldt 1987) and with ROSAT (e.

Proceedings of the Conference on `Digitised Optical Sky Surveys', held in Edinburgh, Scotland, 18-21 June 1991

Proceedings of the 1996 INAOE Summer School of Millimeter-Wave Astronomy held at INAOE, Tonantzintla, Puebla, Mexico, 15-31 July 1996

Although the field is rapidly changing, with so-called facts in a state ofconstant volubility, now is a good time for reflection prior to the commencement ofthe Sloan Survey, presumably the definitive large-scale program of low- to moderate-redshift galaxies in our lifetime.

Proceedings of the 3rd EUROCONFERENCE on Near-Infrared Surveys held at Meudon Observatory, France on June 19-20, 1997

Proceedings of a Workshop held at Puerto de la Cruz, Tenerife (Spain) on 22-26 April 1996

Proceedings of the International Conference on `Cold Dust and Galaxy Morphology' held in Johannesburg, South Africa on January 22-26, 1996

Anyone who doubts that astronomy is enjoying a golden age has only to browse the pages of Organizations and Strategies in Astronomy, Vol.

The auroral emissions in the upper atmosphere of the polar regions of the Earth are evidence of the capture of energetic particles from the Sun, streaming by the Earth as the solar wind.

Prominent progress in science is inevitably associated with controversies. This book, which is based on my own experiences as a scientist, describes the history of the progress made in auroral science and magnetospheric physics by providing examples of ideas, controversies, struggles, acceptance, and success in some instances.

At a time when the sciences were not yet as well established in the United States as they were in Europe, this public interest and support provided the growing scientific community in the United States with the platform they needed to advance the field of astronomy in the United States.

This volume presents the latest research results on solar prominences, including new developments on e.g.

Kapteyn had some conflicts with others in his field, especially after the world became divided on how to handle scientific contributions from Germany post-World War I.

Proceedings of an ESO CCD Workshop held in Garching, Germany on October 8-10, 1996

Not everybody knows that the scheduling of the Hubble Space Telescope is performed by a neural network software called SPIKE, described in the stimulating workshop New Observing Modes for the Next Centuryl, partly reported in OSA Volume II by 1.

And I relish the series of Andr e Heck on Organizations and Strategies in Astronomy, which help us recover our memories, reconstitute our own story, and read with glee about our neighbouring or far-away colleagues.
