The huge amount of data obtained by surveys in all wavebands, from radio to X-rays, has allowed major progress in the understanding of Active Galactic Nuclei and of their cosmic evolution. This book contains the proceedings of a conference intended to give a broad overview of the recent results obtained by recent AGN surveys over the whole electromagnetic spectrum. Topics which were discussed during the conference and are included in this volume are: AGN evolution, contribution to the cosmic background, AGN luminosity functions in different wavebands, multiwavelength properties of AGN, unified model and unconventional AGN, connection with the host galaxies, co-evolution of AGN and galaxies, implications for the local density of supermassive black holes. Future AGN surveys planned with forthcoming new observational facilities are also included.The proceedings have been selected for coverage in:• Index to Scientific & Technical Proceedings® (ISTP® / ISI Proceedings)• Index to Scientific & Technical Proceedings (ISTP CDROM version / ISI Proceedings)• CC Proceedings — Engineering & Physical Sciences

Annotation Papers from a May 2000 conference explore the role of gas in galaxy evolution, starting with the early universe, continuing through recombination, galaxy formation, and re-ionization, and ending with the local universe. Emphasis is on the interplay between galaxies and their environment, with examination of questions surrounding residual gas signatures of the formation process around galaxies, the possibility of galaxy evolution along the Hubble sequence, and lessons to be learned about the history and fate of galaxies from the structures of their gaseous envelopes. The book includes some 200 H1 and optical images of optically weird galaxies, and of optically normal galaxies with weird H1. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
