I have been invited by the organisers to provide an overall perspective on the subject of this Symposium. Necessarily, this will be a subjective impression of topics in which there has been quite remarkable progress since the last General Assembly of the IAU, and which are of the greatest interest for the whole of science. In preparing a review of such an enormous field, one veers between optimism and pessimism about the successes and problems which have arisen. I hope to steer a realistic course between these extremes. Fortunately, there are many experts participating in this Symposium who will be able to neutralise my personal biases and provide authoritative opinions on all the topics I will cover.
