_________________________________________________________________________ Ay 124, Winter 1992: Useful texts, monographs, and proceedings: _________________________________________________________________________ Textbooks: MB = Mihalas, D., and Binney, J., "Galactic Astronomy", 2nd ed., San Francisco: Freeman & Co. (1987). [Somewhat out-of-date] BT = Binney, J., and Tremaine, S., "Galactic Dynamics", Princeton: Princ. Univ. Press (1987). [HIGHLY recommended] GKK = Gilmore, G., King, I.R, and van der Kruit, P., "The Milky Way as a Galaxy", Saas-Fee Lectures, Mill Valley: Univ. Science Books (1990). [HIGHLY recommended] There are many excellent reviews to be found in the Annual Reviews of Astronomy and Astrophysics. The Pubications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific often publish good, short reviews. Check also the journals Astronomy and Astrophysics Reviews, and Vistas in Astronomy. Following are the lists of relatively recent conference proceedings, which may contain reviews and contributions relevant for this class. This is by no means a complete list, but it is a good start! _________________________________________________________________________ IAU Symposia: IAU Symp. 85, "Star Clusters", ed. J.
