XVII International Scientific Instrument Symposium
--------------------------------------------------

Conference announcement and call for papers
(Aus: Electronic Newsletter for the History of Astronomy, No. 25,
January 28, 1998, Item 4)
The Scientific Instrument Commission (SIC) will visit Scandinavia for the
first time in 1998 when it holds its XVII International Scientific
Instrument Symposium in Denmark. The Conference will be held at Soro
Academy. Soro Academy houses Hauchs Physiske Cabinet, one of Europe's
largest cabinets of physics and chemistry from about 1800.
The conference will include three full days of papers, a full-day museum
trip to Copenhagen, a post-conference tour to the Steno Museum in Aarhus,
besides social activities. Participation by and contributions from persons
who have not previously attended the meetings of the Commission are
welcome and encouraged.
Call for papers and posters:
The Commission and the Local Organising Committee strongly encourage
suggestions for papers and posters for the Conference. There will be two
main themes for the Conference: 1. Cabinets of Physics and Chemistry, 2.
Instruments- and Instrument Makers in Scandinavia. Although these themes
will be given priority, we also welcome papers in other areas. The
language of the conference is English, although papers in other languages
may be accepted. Speakers will have 20 minutes for their paper, and there
will be an additional 5 minutes for questions. There will be provisions
for posters next to the conference room and recreational area. The titles
and abstracts of papers and posters should be sent to the conference
Office. They will be considered by the Academic programme Committee after
the closing of the deadline. The deadline for submission of titles and
abstracts is April 1st 1998. Please contact the Conference Office if you
have any queries.

Book Review
-----------
Thalheim, Klaus: Katalog der Meteoriten am Staatlichen Museum fuer
Mineralogie und Geologie zu Dresden. Dresden: Staatliches Museum fuer
Mineralogie und Geologie, 1997. 92 S., zahlr. farb. Abb.,
ISBN 3-91006-17-5, Broschur 49,- DM (Schriften des Staatlichen Museums
fuer Mineralogie und Geologie zu Dresden; 7)
The catalogue is divided in two parts. The first part contains a history
of the Dresden meteorite collection from 1581 to 1997. In 44 pages
Thalheim gives a survey on the historical development of the collection.
Some repros with details of important older catalogues or handwritten
meteorite-lists are added. The second part presents in 43 pages the
details of every meteorite of the Dresden museum collection in an unusual
form. Every data set is illustrated by a high-quality colour print. The
collection includes unique samples like the Nenntmansdorf Iron. A
detailed index and a list of references are added.
Except of some misprints (in 1791 even Chladni didn't know anything about
meteorites; misprint for 1797? see page 8) the book is a recommendable
high quality product. Unfortunately, the reader will miss some detailed
information on the lusatian tektites from Saxony, which could have been
added thematically also to the catalogue.
