This title details the essential roles that small telescopes should
play in 21st century science and how their future productivity can
be maximized. Over 70 experts from all corners of the international
astronomical community have created a reference on the future of
"big science with small telescopes". Despite highly publicized
closures of telescopes smaller than 4-m in aperture at national
facilities and their omission from national science priority
studies, the oft-lamented demise of the small telescope has been
greatly exaggerated. In fact, the future of these workhorses of
astronomy will be brighter than ever if creative steps are taken
now. This three-volume set defines essential roles that small
telescopes should play in 21st century science and the ways in
which a productive future for them can be realized. A wide
cross-section of the astronomical community has contributed to a
definitive assessment of the present and a vision for the future.
Beginning with a summary of national scientific priority-setting
efforts, volume one of this three-volume set examines the public's
and the astronomical communities' own perceptions and
misconceptions of small telescope productivity. These shape the
future scientific research that will be done with telescopes
smaller than 4-m in aperture and the number of astronomers that
will have access to them.
