The cover picture of this volume displays one of the most advanced
products of he lioseismic research: a view into the deep interior
of the sun, revealing its distinctly non-uniform rotation
throughout the entire depth of the convection zone. Just over 20
years ago, the first successful helioseismic experiment disclosed
an increase of ro tation velocity in the uppermost one dozen
megameters below the photosphere. The stunning progress in depth
and detail highlighted by the cover diagram (and by others shown in
this volume as well) was made possible by considerable advances in
instru mentation, by the development of powerful analytical tools
and, foremost, by the involvement of new brains of enthusiastic
proselytes and newcomers to the field, in creasing nearly
exponentially in number every year. New branches of research
widened the scope of "uranoseismology", as e. g. time-distance
seismology (the promising av enue towards small-scale and
short-time variability), atmospheric seismology (a new look at
strange phenomena we have all ways seen, but hardly understood),
and finally the growing observational assault on hundreds of
individual stars which are either manifestly or supposedly
oscillating -i. e. asteroseismology. The formation of numer ous
solar and stellar observing networks and, ultimately, space
missions like SOHO have greatly promoted the potential of this
science. This steady progress was accompanied by workshops,
colloquia, and symposia in quick succession.
