Ultimately, 215 scientists, mathematicians and historians contributed to what was to become the multi-volume Vistas of Astronomy, covering both historical and current topics, for which he was a writer and editor-in-chief (1955 1956) for the first two volumes. The series outlived Beer, Volume 42 appearing in 1998, before its functions were taken over by the New Astronomy Reviews and the Journal of Astronomical History and Heritage."
