The International Astronomical Unionuniting the community for 100 years /[electronic resource] :by Johannes Andersen, David Baneke, Claus Madsen. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2019. - xv, 375 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

Chapter 1: The Birth of the IAU (1919-1929) -- Chapter 2: Crises and Opportunities (1940-1959) -- Chapter 3: A Decade of Astronomical Surprises (1960-1969) -- Chapter 4: A Two-Faced Period (1970-1989) -- Chapter 5: Opening up (1990-2000) -- Chapter 6: The IAU in the 21st Century (2001-2019) -- Appendix 1: General Assemblies, Membership Numbers, Officials -- Appendix 2: Commission History -- Appendix 3: List of National Members -- Appendix 4: International Schools for Young Astronomers.

The International Astronomical Union (IAU) was founded in 1919, in the wake of the First World War, together with its sister Unions in related natural sciences. It will thus turn 100 years in 2019. Written by a mixed team of insiders and outsiders, this book presents the IAU in the changing context of the historical, scientific and technological development of astronomy during the past 100 years. While much important scientific progress took place already before 1945, the book naturally focuses on the accelerating evolution during the second half of the century. In the past few decades, the previously narrow IAU focus on organising professional astronomy has broadened to include societally relevant activities such as addressing the hazard of asteroid impacts, the planetary status of Pluto in the Solar System, and the hugely successful International Year of Astronomy. Most recently, it is spearheading a combination of science literacy and public outreach. The book will be of interest to professional astronomers as well as an astronomically interested general audience. The book features live personal interviews with as many of the key actors as still possible.
