Description: "The Conference on "Deep Millimeter Surveys: Implications for Galaxy Formation and Evolution" drew together the major international groups working on submillimeter and millimeter-wave galaxies to discuss their relation to other galaxies both near by and in the early Universe, the role of the LMT and other new facilities in advancing the new field, and the implications of the new results and models for our understanding of galaxy formation and evolution.

The resulting compendium of reports on observations, simulations, theory and interpretation, and instrumentation is the first book to present the new millimeter view of the early Universe thoroughly in a single volume."--BOOK JACKET.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index.
