Abstract

The forwards approach to galaxy formation and evolution is extremely powerful but leaves several questions unanswered. Foremost among these is the origin of disks. A backwards approach is able to provide a more realistic treatment of star formation and feedback and provides a practical guide to eventually complement galaxy formation ab initio.
