This book constitutes the proceedings of a very topical workshop aimed at understanding the shapes of the baryonic and dark matter components of galaxies. Several groups presented their recent results from observations and numerical N-body simulations.Contents:Intrinsic Shapes of GalaxiesShapes from Lensing StudiesDark Matter Halos from N-Body SimulationsShapes Mapped Using Stellar TracersShapes from HI Studies and Polar RingsShapes from Studies of SatellitesConstraints from X-Ray StudiesShapes from Absorption StudiesReadership: Graduate students, researchers and academics in astrophysics, astronomy and cosmology.Key Features:This book provides the best collection of review articles in the fieldIt continues to be in the tradition of a series of books that has been highly valued by workers in the high-energy heavy-ion physics communityTheory-based, with the latest topics of interest from prominent contributors included
