Extragalactic Globular Cluster Systems Proceedings of the ESO Workshop Held in Garching, 27-30 August 2002

Dramatic progress is a trademark of the recent study of globular cluster systems. Considerations about the formation and evolution compose the first chapter, followed by a chapter on young star clusters. Then come four chapters reviewing the globular cluster system of early-type, late-type and dwarf...
