Scientific paper

I review the basic modes of quiescent star formation and starbursts. Star-formation efficiency is the key to reconciling hierarchical galaxy formation with observed galaxy colours and counts. A unified viewpoint is that all star formation is, at some level, bursty. This is motivated both by local observations and by theory. I describe how self-regulation of star formation provides prescriptions for the star-formation rate and efficiency, and for starburst-driven mass outflows.
