BUILDING GALAXIES
From the Primordial Universe to the Present
Proceedings of the XIXth Rencontres de Moriond
Les Arcs, France 13 - 20 March 1999
edited by François Hammer, Trinh Xuân Thuân, Véronique Cayatte, Bruno Guiderdoni & J Trân Thanh Vân
These proceedings provide a summary of the state-of-the-art in the understanding of physical processes which control galaxy formation. Many topics are discussed which present the latest observational results: dust extinction, the role of AGNs in the formation of massive galaxies, etc. How future instruments such as NGST, ALMA, FIRST, KMT and SKAI can help to resolve these questions is also addressed. The book will serve as a useful reference in the field for many years to come.
