About the Book

A collection of practical data on organizations involved in astronomy, related space sciences and other related fields. The coverage includes relevant: universities; scientific committees; institutions; associations; societies; agencies; companies; academies; bibliographic services; data centres; dealers; distributors; funding organizations; journals; manufactureres; meteorological services; national norms and standards institutes; parent associations and societies; publishers; and software producers and distributors. After more than 25 years in continuous compilation, verification and updating, the text gathers together over 6200 separate entries from over 100 countries. For each entry, all practical data are listed: city, postal and electronic mail addresses; telephone and fax numbers; URLs for WWW access; foundation years; numbers of members and/or numbers of staff; main activities; publication titles; frequencies, ISS-Numbers and circulations; names and geographical co-ordinates of observing sites; names of planetariums; and awards, prizes or distinctions granted. The entries are listed alphabetically in each country. An index gives a breakdown not only by different designations and acronyms, but also by location and major terms in names. Thematic sub-indices are also provided as well as a list of telephone and telefax national codes.

Review :
If there were a yellow pages' of astronomy, this massive book would be it.' Sky & Telescope, April 2001 Publication of this source--the printed counterpart of the established and reliable free Web resource StarWorlds maintained at the Centre de DonnA(c)es Astronomiques de Strasbourg--is commendable because it provides libraries with important options. Entries are listed for more than 100 countries and for each US state. A large index lists keywords in the names of organizations, cities where organizations are located, and acronyms. Entries, arranged in single full-page columns, allow ample room for unbroken URLs and for restful white space. Entries include full name, address, telephone, fax and Web addresses; date of founding, membership, and staff size; basic activities and publications; and coordinates for both observational sites and the site headquarters in cities if different from observational sites. Most entries include a few keywords to indicate major areas of research or contributions. Extensive spot-checking of entries revealed good accuracy. This compilation has merit both for its archival qualities and its browsability. For researchers and professionals.' A. Jensen, University of California, Berkeley in Choice, May 2001
