This book stems from the proceedings of the International
Astronomical Union Colloquium 105. Every facet of the teaching of
astronomy is explored by the contributors. Courses, training and
teaching techniques form a large sector of the book. Practical
information on computers, textbooks and astronomical equipment is
given, linking in with chapters on student projects and teaching
techniques. The philosophical aspects and the history of astronomy
are described in a chapter entitled astronomy and culture.
Popularisation of astronomy is discussed including the role of
planetariums and the contribution of amateur astronomers. This
comprehensive and well illustrated book offers a unique overview of
international teaching technology and expertise that will serve as
a lasting guide to astronomers involved in education.
