Note: This issue of the journal Microgravity Science and Technology derives from the European Low Gravity Research Association's biennial symposium "From Galileo to Low Gravity," held in Florence, Italy in September 2007. The issue included 34 papers and a Foreword. Nineteen of the papers are in the physical sciences and are not included here in this list. The abstracts can be viewed via the table of contents, available at the publisher's site. Springer assumed publication of this journal in 2008, making it more widely available.
