This series of four books celebrates the Centennial of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, and is based on a set of four special symposia held by the Observatories in Pasadena. Each symposium explored an astronomical topic of major historical and current interest at the Observatories, and each resulting book contains a set of comprehensive, authoritative review articles by leading experts in the field.
