Astronomy is by nature an interdisciplinary activity: it involves
mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology. Astronomers use (and
often develop) the latest technology, the fastest computers and the
most refined software. In this book twenty-two leading scientists
from nine countries talk about how astronomy interacts with these
other sciences. They describe modern instruments used in astronomy
and the relations between astronomy and technology, industry,
politics and philosophy. They also discuss what it means to be an
astronomer, the history of astronomy, and the place of astronomy in
society today.
