Chapter 1. Astronomical Instruments and Observatories -- Chapter 2. Observational Astronomy -- Chapter 3. Eclipses, Transits and Occultants -- Chapter 4. Mathematical Astronomy, Calendrical Astronomy and Dating -- Chapter 5. The Emergence of Astrophysics and Radio Astronomy in Asia -- Chapter 6. Middle Eastern Astronomy -- Chapter 7. Asian Ethnoastronomy and Archeoastronomy.

This book discusses the study of astronomy in different cultures, applied historical astronomy and history of multi-wavelength astronomy, and the genesis of recent research. It contains peer-reviewed papers gathered from the International Conference on Oriental Astronomy 9 (ICOA-9) held at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research Pune, India. It covers the areas like megalithic and other prehistoric astronomy, astronomical records in ancient texts, astronomical myths and architecture, astronomical themes in numismatics and rock art, ancient astronomers and their instruments, star maps and star catalogues, historical records and observations of astronomical events, calendars, calendrical science and chronology, the relation between astronomy and mathematics, and maritime astronomy. This book will be a valuable complement to a future generation of students and researchers who develop an interest in the field of Asian and circum-Pacific history of astronomy.
