What do we understand of the properties of the dense ionised matter found in the interiors of low-mass stars and giant planets? The 147th IAU Colloquium gathered together international experts to address this question, and their answers are provided in this opportune proceedings. In this volume, reviews by world experts in plasma and dense matter physics and in stellar astrophysics cover everything from the cooling theory of white dwarfs and their accretion-induced collapse, through to the internal structure of low-mass stars and giant planets. They cover a wide range of topics related to the equation of state in dense matter. Together these articles provide an essential review of the most recent achievements in the field and give directions for future research.

How do students learn astronomy? How can the World-Wide Web be used to teach? And how do planetariums help with educating the public? These are just some of the timely questions addressed in this stimulating review of new trends in the teaching of astronomy. Based on an international meeting hosted by the University of London and the Open University (IAU Colloquium 162), this volume presents articles by experts from around the world. The proceedings of the first IAU Colloquium (105), The Teaching of Astronomy, edited by Percy and Pasachoff, were first published in 1990 and soon became established as the definitive resource for astronomy teachers. Astronomy education has advanced enormously in the intervening 7 years, and this sequel will inspire and encourage teachers of astronomy at all levels and provide them with wealth of ideas and experience on which to build.
