Springer Nature is one of the world’s leading scientific publishers, with roots going back to 1842, when Julius Springer founded a publishing house in Berlin. The modern Springer Nature group was formed in 2015, bringing Springer together with Nature Publishing Group and Macmillan Education.
Astronomy has long been an important part of Springer’s publishing programme, spanning professional astrophysics and astronomy as well as practical observing and amateur astronomy. Its well-known Springer Praxis and Patrick Moore Practical Astronomy series have published numerous titles covering observing, astrophotography, telescopes and astronomical techniques, with books specifically written for amateur astronomers.
The Springer name has consequently become closely associated with authoritative, technically rigorous and enduring scientific literature. For amateur astronomers, its books are valued for going beyond introductory astronomy and providing the practical knowledge needed to understand, observe and photograph the night sky.
