A land where  we are willing to leave behind the old, to bravely accept the new.  What do we need to exit the dark ages in the morphology of galaxies?  How prevalent is the cherishing of old concepts? Traditional  morphology has been `mask-oriented', focusing on masks of dust and gas  which may constitute only 5 percent of the dynamical mass of a galaxy.  \u003cbr\u003e  Some of the world's foremost astronomers flew to South Africa to  address morphologically related issues at an International Conference,  the proceedings of which are contained in this volume. Examine  predicted extinction curves for primordial dust at high redshift.  Stars evolve; why not dust? Read about the breakdown of the Hubble  sequence at a redshift of one. Explore the morphology of rings; the  mysteries of metal-rich globular clusters; vigorous star-formation in  the Large Magellanic Cloud; the world of secular evolution, where  galaxies change their shapes within one Hubble time. And much more.  Examine a new kinematical classification scheme of the unmasked,  dust-penetrated near-infrared images of spiral galaxies. \u003cbr\u003e  This volume contains over 80 refereed contributions (including 18  in-depth keynote review articles), 40 pages of questions and answers,  a panel discussion transcribed from tape and 24 colour plates. The  volume is unique in that contributions from both high and low redshift  experts are represented at a level readily accessible to postdoctoral  students entering the exciting world of morphology - whether it  be of the local, or more distant, Universe.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-06-21\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9789401058018\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789401058018\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-4114-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 240cm x160cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 821\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44358697189516,"sku":"9789401058018","price":198.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789401058018.jpg?v=1755111982","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789401058018","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
