This volume records the latest experimental and theoretical results on anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background (CMB). The book begins with a survey article describing the main observational issues, and in which the current COBE DMR whole-sky anisotropy data — now dramatically visible above the noise — are displayed. Results and analyses by the MAX, Python, MSAM, White Dish and South Pole groups, amongst others, are included. The theoretical implications of these results for cosmological scenarios are explored. The workshop also included a discussion of how the interplay between theory and experiment can best be enhanced.

Advances made by physicists in understanding matter, space, and time and by astronomers in understanding the universe as a whole have closely intertwined the question being asked about the universe at its two extremesâ€"the very large and the very small. This report identifies 11 key questions that have a good chance to be answered in the next decade. It urges that a new research strategy be created that brings to bear the techniques of both astronomy and sub-atomic physics in a cross-disciplinary way to address these questions. The report presents seven recommendations to facilitate the necessary research and development coordination. These recommendations identify key priorities for future scientific projects critical for realizing these scientific opportunities.
