Gaia is an ambitious satellite mission to chart a three-dimensional
map of the Milky Way. By measuring the proper motions and
parallaxes for a billion stars, Gaia is set to transform the way we
study the composition, formation and evolution of our galaxy.
Concurrently the LAMOST survey facility in China will make a
complementary spectral survey of millions of objects in much of the
northern sky. This volume, comprising the reviews and contributed
talks presented at IAU Symposium 298, is an up-to-date review of
what we know about the Milky Way as a galaxy prior to the launch of
Gaia. It covers many topics including the status of dynamical
simulations, photometric and spectroscopic surveys, and
interstellar matter in the Milky Way, as well as detailed studies
of stellar atmospheres. The expert reviews will interest all those
working on Milky Way astronomy as well as galaxy formation and
evolution.
