Some 120 papers discuss recent findings on star formation in
galaxies, taking into account developments in related areas such as the
structure, dynamics, and evolution of galaxies; their stellar and dark
matter components and their central black holes as clues to their
histories; the physics of the interstellar medium; and the feedback
between star formation and the host galaxy at all spatial scales.
