Putting the "I" in IHY This book is about international
cooperation. It demonstrates how the power of scienti?c imagination
and investigation can bring together people form all continents in
almost all countries around the globe. In presenting this
impressive result, we can understand, how much unifying force the
quest for understanding our universe and using outer space for that
purpose have. Astronomy is far away from being a "political" area
of science. But is has enormous political effects - and all of
these effects are positive. This book about the international
aspects and achievements of the "International Heliophysical Year
(IHY) 2007" can be regarded as a compendium of the fertile impacts
of conducting research in this ?eld. The main focus, as the title
implicates, is the international cooperation, which has emerged
from this grassroots initiative. North and South, industrialized
and developing countries have been coordinating their efforts and
have been learning from each other in a mutual partnership under a
joint understanding of sharing the scienti?c bene?ts. Through this,
trans-border networks have been created and scienti?c as well as
cultural exchange took place.
