Astronomers communicate all the time, with colleagues of course,
but also with managers and administrators, with decision makers and
takers, with social representatives, with the news media, and with
society at large. Education is naturally part of the process.
Astronomy communication must take into account several specifics:
the astronomy community is rather compact and well organized
world-wide; astronomy has penetrated the general public remarkably
well with an extensive network of associations and organizations of
aficionados all over the world. Also, as a result of the huge
amount of data accumulated and by necessity for their extensive
international collaborations, astronomers have pioneered the
development of distributed resources, electronic communications and
networks coupled to advanced methodologies and technologies, often
long before they become commonly used world-wide.
This book is filling a gap in the astronomy-related literature by
providing a set of chapters not only of direct interest to
astronomy communication, but also well beyond it. The experts
contributing to this book have done their best to write in a way
understandable to readers not necessarily hyperspecialized in
astronomy nor in communication techniques while providing specific
detailed information, as well as plenty of pointers and
bibliographic elements.
This book will be very useful for researchers, teachers, editors,
publishers, librarians, computer scientists, sociologists of
science, research planners and strategists, project managers,
public-relations officers, plus those in charge of
astronomy-related organizations, as well as for students aiming at
a career in astronomy or related spacescience.
