Since 1967. the most prominent events of a General Assembly of the
International Astronomical Union are published in a separate
volume. The Highlights of Astronomy (volume 9) report on the major
scientific presentations made at the XXIst General Assembly July
23-August 1. 1991. Buenos Aires. Argentina. The present volume
contains the texts of the three invited Di scourses and of the
papers presented duri ng seven Joi nt Discussion Meetings and eight
Joint Commission Meetings. The invited Discourses were arranged by
the IAU Executive Committee and the Joint Discourses and Commission
Meetings by the respective chairpersons. The overall responsability
of the General Assembly was carried out by the IAU General
Secretary (19B8-1991). Dr. D. McNally. I am indebted to the authors
of the invited Di scourses. to the organi zers and editors of the
scientific sessions for having provided me with all the material
for publication in due time. I want to particularly acknowledge the
case with which Dr. J.H. Hughes. who unfortunately died a few days
ago from cancer. prepared and checked unti 1 the 1 ast few weeks
the report on the new IAU Reference System. This report itself
concludes long and difficult discussions among IAU members that he
led in a wise and clear sighted manner."
