Descrizione del libro

What does the extragalactic background radiation at all wavelengths tell us about the formation and evolution of structure in the Universe? Observational and theoretical astronomers were united at a Space Telescope Science Institute workshop to address this question. Their invited review articles summarise the present knowledge, highlight outstanding problems and provide a focus for future research.
