Reviews

' ... this volume provides a useful and readable review of the current state of observational and theoretical research into the evolution of faint galaxies.' Ian Smail, The Observatory ' ... the book comprises a good assembly of papers that contain most of the undergoing research, new findings and new techniques in observational cosmology and galaxy formation ... I would gladly suggest this book to my library.' Contemporary Physics
