This book collects the review papers given at a symposium on Stellar Populations hosted by the Space Telescope Science Institute, Baltimore, Maryland in May 1986.

The reviewers present a comprehensive summary of our present understanding of stellar populations within galaxies.

The material covered includes the initial mass function and star formation histories; the chemical history of galaxies, and their observed evolution as a function of redshift; stellar kinematics; and modelling of synthetic populations.

The book is a valuable analysis of the role of stellar populations in determining galactic structure and evolution.
