Angelo Secchi was a key figure in 19th century science. An Italian
Jesuit and scientist, he helped lead the transition from astronomy
to astrophysics and left a lasting legacy in the field. Secchi's
spectral classification of stars was a milestone that paved the way
for modern astronomical research. He was also a founder of modern
meteorology and an innovator in the design and development of new
instruments and methods across disciplines.This contributed volume
collects together reviews from an international group of
historians, scientists and scholars representing the multiple
disciplines where Secchi made significant contributions during his
remarkable career. It analyzes both his famous and lesser known
pioneering efforts with equal vigor, providing a well-rounded
narrative of his life's work. Beyond his scientific and
technological work, his role as a Jesuit priest in Rome during the
turbulent years of the mid 19th century is also described and
placed in the context of his scientific and civic activities.
