This volume, which is the  proceedings of a special `legacy' symposium at the celebration of the  385th anniversary of the University of Groningen, addresses Kapteyn's  influence on the development of modern astronomy through studies of  his pioneering work on statistical astronomy and the Structure of the  Sidereal System, and his leadership in establishing international  collaborations, in particular the Plan of Selected Areas. In addition  to historical studies related to Kapteyn's person, work, international  collaborations and organisational efforts, the volume discusses the  influence of Kapteyn on the internationalisation of astronomy and on  contemporary astronomy. It also provides an inventory of Kapteyn's  correspondence.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2001-11-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781402003745\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-010-9864-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 404\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44358895468684,"sku":"9781402003745","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781402003745.jpg?v=1776428049","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781402003745","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
