About the book
This book is a collection of 50 review talks given in the morning sessions of the July 1986 Santa Cruz Summer Astrophysics Workshop on Nearly Normal Galaxies. The two-week workshop presented an up-to-date, comprehensive review of galaxy formation and evolution. This topic was given greater coverage than in any previous conference on galaxies. A unique feature of the workshop was the treatment of galaxy formation from the earliest density fluctuations in the early universe up to the latest phases of formation and evolution at present. Each carefully written review gives an up-to-date summary of an important aspect of galaxy evolution, including copious references and citations to current work. Professionals and graduate students alike will find this volume an invaluable summary of, and introduction to, the current literature. The book will also make ideal supplementary reading for graduate courses in galaxy formation and evolution.
