Besides its sheer size, of course, which makes it difficult to fit into even a plump volume, the 100 or so papers address some of the stubborn perplexities about our native galaxy, concentrating on those that have wide application in astrophysics and actually have a shot at being solved in the next few years. They are whether the disk and halo are axisymmetric, whether it is a barred spiral galaxy, the nature of the center of the galaxy, whether there is a consistent picture of the inner kpc, how it got here anyway, the large and scale structures of the interstellar medium, and how to fit all the pieces of information together into a coherent picture.
