About the Book

Symposium No. 73 of the International Astronomical Union was devoted to the obser- vational and theoretical aspects of close binary stars. Just over 100 participants attended. The Local Organizing Committee would like to thank the following: IAU for travel grants. IBM United Kingdom Ltd for very generous support in the form of travel grants. The Royal Society for the provision of travel grants to participants from Eastern Europe. We also thank the Director of the Institute of Astronomy, and our colleagues and research students for their moral support and assistance. Finally we thank Pauline Haughey for assisting with the editorial work. PETER EGGLETON SIMON MITTON JOHN WHELAN SCIENTIFIC ORGANIZING COMMITTEE M. Plavec (Chairman), T. Herczeg, E. P.
