This paper will be concerned with three topics relevant to the X-ray background: (i) X-ray emission mechanisms in quasars; (ii) the contributions to the X-ray background from quasars, clusters of galaxies, intercluster gas, young galaxies, etc; and (iii) the use of X-ray background observations as a probe for large-scale density irregularities in the Universe.
