The observational evidence for the existence of black holes has
grown significantly over recent decades. Stellar-mass black holes
are detected as X-ray sources in binary systems, while supermassive
black holes, with masses more than a million times the mass of the
Sun, lurk in the nuclei of galaxies. These proceedings provide a
useful and up-to-date overview of the observations of black holes
in binaries, in the center of the Milky Way, and in the nuclei of
galaxies, presented by leading expert astronomers. Special
attention is given to the formation (including the recent evidence
from gamma-ray bursts), physical properties, and demographics of
black holes.
