In order to outline possible future directions in galaxy research  this book wants to be a
short stopover  a moment of self-reflection of the past century of achievements in this area.
Since the pioneering years of galaxy research in the early 20th century  the research on
galaxies has seen a relentless advance directly connected to the parallel exponential growth of
new technologies. Through a series of interviews with distinguished astronomers the editors
provide a snapshot of the achievements obtained in understanding galaxies. While many initial
questions about their nature have been addressed  many are still open and require new efforts
to achieve a solution. The discussions may reveal paradigms worthwhile revisiting. With the
help of some of those scientists who have contributed to it  the editors sketch the history of
this scientific journey and ask them for inspirations for future directions of galaxy research.
