Synopsis

A new understanding of the distribution of galaxies and the formation and structure of the universe has evolved due to the rapid development of the topic over the last ten years and the enormous amount of observational data which has become available. This book is devoted totally to large scale structures, emphasizing the perspective from the observational side. It reviews current interpretation and methods of analysis and portrays the observed "fabric" of the universe on the largest scale known. Detailed descriptions of planned large scale projects should enable the reader to learn more about large-scale structures.
