Quasars, AGNs and Related Research Across 2000 - Conference on the Occasion of L. Woltjer's 70th Birthday Held at the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei, Rome, Italy 3-5 May 2000 (Paperback, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 2001)

The proceedings of the international conference held in honor of Lodewijk Woltjer, focus on the physics, origin and space distribution of AGNs and quasars and their relationship to the environment, a very wide subject which has attracted much of Lodewijk Wolter's research interest. A number of lectures were also dedicated to reviewing the recent observational advances and those that may be attained by the introduction of new and powerful astronomical instrumentation both from the ground and from space, in recognition of the central role played by L. Woltjer in the promotion of the ESO VLT and of his involvement in shaping ESA's space programme Horizon 2000+.
