description: The 28 papers delivered at the August 1998 workshop seek to unravel the 35 year-long mystery surrounding the origin of high- velocity clouds. The topics covered include interstellar medium and Galactic Halo energetics, the formation of the Local Group, ongoing radio and optical emission-line surveys, the link with low- and intermediate-velocity Galactic gas as well as the high-redshift Ly-a forest, and the black art of determining hard-fast distance and metallicity constraints.
