This text describes the development of astronomy in the Extreme UltravioletEUV wavelength range from the first rocketbased experiments in the late1960s through to the latest satellite missions. Discussions of the results fromthe most important space projects are followed by an analysis of thecontributions made by EUV astronomy to the study of specific groups ofastronomical objects. Within this framework the book provides detailedmaterial on the tools of EUV astronomy dealing with the instrumentationobservational techniques and modelling tools for the interpretation of data.Prospects for future EUV missions are discussed and a catalogue of the knownEUV sources is included. This timely book will be of great value to graduatestudents and researchers. It is the first to give a complete overview ofExtreme Ultraviolet Astronomy and comes at the end of a major phase ofdiscovery in the field. «
