Radio Interferometry: The Saga and the Science

In this symposium proceedings volume, edited by Dave Finley and Miller Goss, many of the pioneers of radio interferometry trace the history of this important astronomical technique through reminiscences of the career of Barry Clark and reviews of the scientific contributions of the instruments to which he has been so vital. Here you will find a wealth of historical information, a useful outline of the achievements of the Very Large Array and Very Long Baseline Array, and a look ahead to the future of radio interferometry.
