On megaparsec scales, matter and galaxies have aggregated into a
complex network of interconnected filaments, wall-like structures
and compact clusters surrounded by large near-empty void regions.
Dubbed the 'Cosmic Web', theoretical and observational studies have
led to its recognition as a key aspect of structure in the
Universe, representing a universal phase in the gravitationally
driven emergence and evolution of cosmic structure. IAU Symposium
308 marked the centenary of the birth of the Russian physicist and
cosmologist Yakov B. Zeldovich (1914-87), who was instrumental in
the development of this view of structure formation. His seminal
work paved the way towards an understanding of the complex web-like
structure observed in our Universe. This volume synthesizes the
insights obtained from many different observational and theoretical
studies, and helps prepare researchers and students working in this
vibrant field for the many upcoming surveys.
