After the same pattern as the XIII th General Assembly of the
International Astronom ical Union the present Volume of the
Highlights in Astronomy contains the texts of the invited
discourses given at the XIVth General Assembly held in Brighton,
England, August 1970. It contains further the papers and discussion
remarks presented at the six joint discussions, as well as the
invited papers given at the special session on the Moon. In
addition this Volume contains the papers given at the joint meeting
of Commissions 24, 27, 30, 33 and 37 on RR Lyrae Stars. It goes
without saying that the nearly hundred papers printed in this
Volume represent only a minor part of all matter dealt with at the
XIVth General Assembly of the Union; the many important discussions
that took place in a few hundred commission meetings are not
included. For short abstracts and reviews of these the reader is
referred to Transactions of the International Astronomical Union
XIVB. I wish to thank those who contributed to this Volume for the
speed in submitting the manuscripts of their papers. This, together
with the efficiency of the Publishers allowed for a rapid
publication.
