Information Handling in Astronomy - Historical Vistas 天文学中的信息处理－历史回顾

出版时间：2003-3  出版社：化学工业出版社  作者：Heck, Andre; Heck, A.; Heck, Andre  页数：294  

内容概要

This book offers a unique review of how astronomical information handling (in the broad sense) evolved in the course of the 20th century, and especially during its second half.   　This volume is a natural complement to the book Information Handling in Astronomy published in the same series. The scope of these two volumes includes not only dealing with professional astronomical data from the collecting instruments (ground-based and space-borne) to the users / researchers, but also publishing, education and public outreach. 　　In short, the information flow in astronomy is thus illustrated from sources (cosmic objects) to end (mankind's knowledge). 　　This book will be very useful for researchers, teachers, editors, publishers, librarians, computer scientists, sociologists of science, research planners and strategists, project managers, public-relations officers, plus those in charge of astronomy-related organizations, as well as by students aiming at a career in astronomy or related space science.
