This book describes the development of astronomy in the Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) wavelength range, from the first rocket-based experiments in the late 1960s through to the latest satellite missions. It provides detailed material on the tools of EUV astronomy, dealing with the instrumentation, observational techniques, and modelling tools for the interpretation of data. Prospects for future EUV missions are discussed, and a catalog of known EUV sources is included.

Review
"...I recommend Extreme Ultraviolet Astronomy as a solid introduction to the history and practice of the field." Physics Today
Book Description
This text describes the development of astronomy in the Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) wavelength range. Discussions of the results from the most important space projects are followed by an analysis of the contributions made by EUV astronomy to the study of specific groups of astronomical objects. This timely text is the first to give a complete overview of EUV Astronomy, and comes at the end of a major phase of discovery in the field. It will be of great value to graduate students and researchers.

First Sentence:
The Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) nominally spans the wavelength range from 100 to 1000 A, although for practical purposes the edges are often somewhat indistinct as instrument band-passes extend shortward into the X-ray or longward into the far ultraviolet (far UV).
