Remembering Edith Alice Mller [Paperback]

Edith Alicia M?ller (1918-1995) was the IAU General Secretary from 1976 to 1979, the first woman to have this responsibility. Many friends, students and colleagues, and others who have met Edith at different occasions, give in this book their memories of her.
Her fundamental work in solar physics concerned the chemical composition of the Sun, the time variation of its infra-red spectrum, and its thermal structure. Her interests were, however, far broader than that. She was heavily involved in international work for the teaching of astronomy and for the exchange program of young astronomers.Edith Alicia M?ller (1918-1995) was the IAU General Secretary from 1976 to 1979, the first woman to have this responsibility.
