PrefacePREFACE
Frederick I. Ordway III
Since 1967, the International Academy of Astronautics has held history symposia at the annual International Astronautical Congresses. The papers delivered at these symposia have, in turn, been published, the first two by the National Air and Space Museum (USA)° in 1974 and the next four by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration in 1977. Beginningwith the seventh and eight symposia, an agreement was made between the Academy and the American Astronautical Society (AAS) to authorize the latter's publishing arm Univelt of San Diego, California to produce and distribute all further volumes in the series. At the same time, arrangements were made for Univelt to reprint the first six symposia in the same format as subsequent volumes. Now, HervéMoulin has come forward with a remarkable achievement, the publication of the General Index & Abstracts of papers presented between 1967 to 2000. He starts of by listing each and every symposia with their coordinators, chairmen and rapporteurs. Then comes the meat of his book, the abstracts, each identified by title, author, control number, and the Univelt volume in which they appear (with inclusivepage numbers). We are now presented with several kinds of indices, one by author's and co-author's names, conveniently directing the reader to the respective abstract numbers. Next comes a special treat, a listing by country and authors – if you are interested is seeing how many papers have been prepared by Chinese authors over the years, your known just where to look. Is there more? Indeed thereis. How about a listing by historical period? H. Moulin supplies it, divided into "Ancient Times", "19th Century", "20th

Century – Before 1945", "20th Century-After 1945", and "20th CenturyAfter 1957", all keyed to year if presentation and abstract number. To wind up this treasure-house of historical information, the author provides us with a listing by subject: "BiographicalReferences, "General", Manned Spaceflight", "Organizational Histories", Rocketry & Rockets", "Satellites & Spacecraft", "Scientific & Technical Aspects", "Scientific Research", Space Policy, and "Technical Aspects". Ever mindful of reader convenience, some of these subjects are broken into sub-headings. A reader-friendly index! This monumental undertaking, a combination of love of his subject,dedication and hard work, will bring the author accolades for many to come.
