Understanding the formation and evolution of early galaxies is one of the most challenging problems in modern astronomy. This volume contains specialists’ descriptions of observations of high and intermediate redshift galaxies, as well as the deep survey activities. Further topics covered include cosmology, and modelling and computer simulations of galaxy formation.
