ABOUT THIS BOOK

Based on meetings held in Tucson, Arizona in 1984, this volume brought up-to-date recent advances and research on the cosmogony of stars and planets. This book presents the written thoughts of the principle speakers (and their colleagues) from the 1984 meeting. This work continued work started in 1978 to investigate the problems of star formation and the formation of the solar system.
