Recent Issues and Advances in Astronomy explores the most important
developments in astronomy over the last decade, including the
results of recent investigations on extrasolar planetary systems,
black holes, and the existence of water in space. Besides exploring
the societal implications of recent developments, the book also
addresses the philosophical questions raised by recent advances,
such as whether or not we are alone in the universe. Other chapters
offer biographies of prominent astronomers, discussions of
important current investigations, summaries of astronomical funding
and career statistics, and a glossary of terms. The book also
provides an annotated listing of relevant organizations and
bibliographies of print and nonprint information resources. The
book is illustrated and extensively cross-referenced, and includes
a detailed subject index. A special chapter comprises narratives
written by four trained astronomers, each of whom describes the
particular career path he or she has chosen, both inside and
outside the field of astronomy itself.
