This volume reviews recent progress in the study of dynamics of
star clusters. The meeting focused on the enormous progress of both
the observation and the theoretical modeling of star clusters. New
results from the refurbished Hubble Space Telescope (HST) include
the mass function down to the hydrogen burning limits, white dwarf
sequence, and central density profiles of `post-collapse' clusters
by star counts. On the theoretical side, this symposium saw the
first direct evidence of gravothermal oscillation through N-body
simulation, which was made possible by GRAPE-4, the dedicated
special-purpose computer for N-body simulation. Numerical
techniques to combine stellar evolution and dynamical evolution of
the cluster were presented. The book will be of primary interest to
astrophysicists.
