Hardback. Galaxies have a history. This has become clear from sky surveys which have shown that distant galaxies, formed early in the life of the Universe, differ from the nearby ones. A significant advance is expected due to various instruments (VLT, FIRST, and XMM) which may allow one to explore the most distant Universe. Editor(s): Sauvage, Marc; Stasinska, Grazyna; Schaerer, D.
