A symposium held in honour of Donald H Menzel's contribution to the field of astrophysics on the event of his 70th birthday. Quoting from the verso of the title page " ... Men's all handy school have made distinguished contributions to the theory of atomic physics, solar physics, and gaseous nebulae stop the work on planetary nebulae represented the first investigations of non-equilibria thermodynamic conditions in astronomy, the solar work extended these investigations to stellar atmospheres. The applied atomic physics laid the basis for what we now call laboratory Astromodal dynamics, inspired the founding of the Joint Institute for Laboratory Astrophysics."
