About this book
IAU Transactions are published as a volume corresponding to each General Assembly.
Volume A is produced prior to the Assembly and contains Reports on Astronomy, prepared by each Commission President. The intention is to summarize the astronomical results that have affected the work of the Commission since the production of the previous Reports up to a time which is about one year prior to the General Assembly.
Volume B is produced after the Assembly and contains accounts of Commission Meetings which were held, together with other material. The reports included in the present volume range from outline summaries to lengthy compilations and references.
Reviews
`... It is a joy to read it for its enormous amount of information, and the readable way in which the various Reports are presented. I wish that every astronomer would have ... this book. Certainly those who are interested in a wider field than just that of their own speciality would benefit greatly from having it on their desk. The Editor should be congratulated with his achievement.'
