This comprehensive Encyclopedia covers the full history of astronomy from its ancient origins in Africa, South America, the Middle East and China to the latest developments in astrophysics and space-based research. The initial articles, which are largely organised chronologically, are followed by numerous thematic historical articles on the constituents of the solar system, types of stars, stellar evolution, active galaxies, cosmology and much more. These are followed by articles on tools and techniques, from the history of spectroscopy to adaptive optics. The last part of the Encyclopedia is devoted to the history of ground- and space-based telescopes and observatories, covering the full spectral range from gamma-rays through the optical waveband to radio waves. Informative and accessibly written, each article is followed by an extensive bibliography to facilitate further research, whilst consistent coverage from ancient times to the present makes this an ideal resource for scholars, students and amateur astronomers alike.

Attractively priced astrophysical reference work contains (in alphabetical sequence) 41 essays by diverse experts, which collectively review the observational, theoretical and instrumental essentials of the field in its present state. Intended to serveprimarily the needs of advanced undergraduates, beginning graduate students and general scientific readers. Essential mathematical material is presented, and though the volume is illustrated it cannot (unlike some others) be considered a "picture book". Carefully written, cleanly edited and produced, serious in tone; a useful (and unusually engaging) contribution to the reference literature. (NW) Annotation c.
