Many concepts thought to be well established disappeared, to be replaced by others going towards a larger complexity: in particular, the discovery of radial migrations of stars has blurred the simple image that we had of the Galactic disk. There has been large progress in some domains, for instance the physics of the Galactic Center with its super-massive black hole; other problems remain unsolved, such as the nature of the dark matter existing like a halo around our Galaxy. This book reviews our present knowledge of the Milky Way, in the simplest and most didactic way as possible. Basic notions are always recalled, which make the book accessible to readers without any advanced formation in astronomy. This basic work will be very helpful to understand the results expected from GAIA, the new ESA astrometric satellite launched on December 19, 2013. 410 0$aCurrent Natural Sciences Ser. 606 $aGalaxies$xEvolution 607 $aMilky Way 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aGalaxies$xEvolution. 676 $a523.113 700 $aCombes$b F.$0351088 702 $aLequeux$b James 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910465748003321 996 $aThe Milky Way$92451005 997 $aUNINA
