Recent advances in the instrumentation used to observe star forming
regions in both our own Milky Way and in external galaxies have
transformed the subject from a phenomenological pursuit into an
increasingly unified, physical science. High resolution centimetre,
millimetre, infrared, and optical studies of local star forming
clouds have allowed us to probe the physics of star formation down
to spatial scales approaching those of the solar system. These
developments make it possible to better constrain the basic
physical processes underlying star formation itself. At the same
time, these new instruments have placed extragalactic studies on a
footing detailed enough to allow comparison with star forming
regions within our own galaxy. This revolution means that we will
soon be able to link the physics of local star forming regions to
the global star forming properties of galaxies. The entire
structure of this NATO Advanced Study Institute was designed to
explore this new view of the subject. This Institute on "Galactic
and Extragalactic Star Formation" was held from June 21 -July 4,
1987 at the Conference Centre in the village of Whistler, British
Columbia, Canada. The informal atmosphere of this lovely mountain
resort stim ulated many valuable scientific exchanges. The
Institute was funded by a major grant from NATO Scientific Affairs.
Additional financial and I.I1oral assistance was provided by the
Canadian Institute for Theoretical Astrophysics (CITA) and Mc
Master University."
