This book contains the proceedings of the first large IAU Symposium
dedicated to the bulges of spiral galaxies. Detailed attention is
paid to the bulge of the Milky Way, one of the major building
blocks of this system. Topics include the definition of the bulge
in our Galaxy and its relation to the so-called spheroid.
Discussions are presented regarding the stars contained in this
bulge, their astrophysical properties, their motions and the
metallicity variations which appear to be present. The possible
existence of a bar in the bulge and its origin and future are also
examined. The same topics are discussed in less detail for the
bulges of other galaxies.
