It is a pleasure to present this work, which has been well received
in German-speaking countries through four editions, to the
English-speaking reader. We feel that this is a unique publication
in that it contains valuable material that cannot easily-if at
all-be found elsewhere. We are grateful to the authors for reading
through the English version of the text, and for responding
promptly (for the most part) to our queries. Several authors have
supplied us, on their own initiative or at our suggestion, with
revised and updated manuscripts and with supplementary English
references. We have striven to achieve a translation of Handbuch
fUr Sternfreunde which accurately presents the qualitative and
quantitative scientific principles con tained within each chapter
while maintaining the flavor of the original Ger man text. Where
appropriate, we have inserted footnotes to clarify material which
may have a different meaning and/or application in English-speaking
countries from that in Germany. When the first English edition of
this work, Astronomy: A Handbook (translated by the late A. Beer),
appeared in 1975, it contained 21 chapters. This new edition is
over twice the length and contains 28 authored chap ters in three
volumes. At Springer's request, we have devised a new title,
Compendium of Practical Astronomy, to more accurately reflect the
broad spectrum of topics and the vast body of information contained
within these pages."
