 International Academy of Astronautics History Symposia at the International Astronautical Congresses Abstracts and Index 1967–2000 Abstracts and Index of Papers Presented at the First through Thirty-Fourth History Symposia of the International Academy of Astronautics Edited by Hervé Moulin, 2009, 386p., Hard Cover plus CD-ROM ISBN 978-0-87703-551-0, $95.00 Volume 31 AAS History Series Since 1967, the International Academy of Astronautics (IAA) has held history symposia at the International Astronautical Congresses. The papers delivered at these symposia have, in turn, been re-published, or, in many cases, published for the first time in the AAS History Series. This volume is a general index and abstracts of all the papers presented at the 1967-2000 IAA History Symposia, and is designed to help the user find exactly where the full papers are published using several methods. The volume is divided into several sections: Section I is a listing of each and every symposium, their locations, dates, session numbers, coordinators, chairs, rapporteurs, paper titles, authors, IAA/IAF paper numbers, IAA/AAS volume numbers, page numbers in which the available papers are published in the AAS History Series of books and the abstract reference numbers cited in Section II of the book/CD. Section II contains all the abstracts of the papers which were submitted for presentation and/or were published in the AAS/IAA History Series. They are all numbered so the reader can easily link to the proper abstract from all the other sections of the book/CD. And again, the paper title, authors, IAA/IAF paper numbers, IAA/AAS volume numbers and page numbers in which the available papers are published in the AAS History Series of books are given. Section III is an index of all the authors in alphabetical order, and includes the years their papers were presented, the paper titles and the abstract reference numbers. One can distinguish between single-authored papers and co-authored papers, and which authors are/were IAA members and whether the author is deceased (if known). Section IV is a listing of all the papers by the authors’ countries. The countries are organized into alphabetical order, then by author names in alphabetical order under each country heading. Again the year the paper was presented, the paper title and abstract numbers are given. In addition, the co-author(s) are given, if any. Section V is a listing of the paper titles in alphabetical order organized by the time period which the subject matter of the paper covers. This section is divided into the following time periods: Ancient, 19th Century, 20th Century before 1945, 20th century 1945-1957 and 20th Century after 1957. The year the paper was presented and the abstract reference numbers are given. Section VI is a listing of the paper titles in alphabetical order organized by theme. The theme headings are divided as follows: Biographical References, General, Manned Spacecraft, Organizational Histories, Rocketry and Rockets, Satellites and Spacecraft, Scientific Research, Space Policy and Technical Aspects. The year each paper was presented and the abstract reference numbers are given. At the end of the book/CD are three appendices, including a list of previous chairmen of the IAA History Committee organized by the time period they were in office and their nationality; a brief description of the International Academy of Astronautics; and a list of IAA History Symposia Proceedings volumes published as part of the AAS History Series. The user should find the CD-ROM supplement extremely useful, as there is extensive linking throughout the volume to help them find the information needed.
