Geometric Group Theory Down Under: Proceedings of a Special Year in Geometric Group Theory, Canberra, Australia, 1996

Topics covered include algebraic and geometric automorphism groups, the geometric invariants of a group, automatic and hyperbolic groups, convergence groups, combinatorial approach to conformal structure, Artin groups and braid groups, and distortion of subgroups.

The volume consists of 17 contributions including both, research and research/expository papers, and will be an important resource for a wide variety of algebraists and geometers.
