520    This open access book is a biography of Joseph L. Pawsey. 
       It examines not only his life but the birth and growth of 
       the field of radio astronomy and the state of science 
       itself in twentieth century Australia. The book explains 
       how an isolated continent with limited resources grew to 
       be one of the leaders in the study of radio astronomy and 
       the design of instruments to do so. Pawsey made a name for
       himself in the international astronomy community within a 
       decade after WWII and coined the term radio astronomy. His
       most valuable talent was his ability to recruit and 
       support bright young scientists who became the technical 
       and methodological innovators of the era, building new 
       telescopes from the Mills Cross and Chris (Christiansen) 
       Cross to the Parkes radio telescope. The development of 
       aperture synthesis and the controversy surrounding the 
       cosmological interpretation of the first major survey 
       which resulted in the Sydney research group's 
       disagreements with Nobel laureate Martin Ryle play major 
       roles in this story. This book also shows the connections 
       among prominent astronomers like Oort, Minkowski, Baade, 
       Struve, famous scientists in the UK such as J.A. Ratcliffe,
       Edward Appleton and Henry Tizard, and the engineers and 
       physicists in Australia who helped develop the field of 
       radio astronomy. Pawsey was appointed the second Director 
       of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (Green Bank, 
       West Virginia) in October 1961; he died in Sydney at the 
       age of 54 in late November 1962. Upper level students, 
       scientists and historians will find the information, much 
       of it from primary sources, relevant to any study of 
       Joseph L. Pawsey or radio astronomy. This is an open 
       access book.
