Redshift surveys and the description of clustering in the universeResults from recent redshift surveys at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics are reviewed. Consideration is given to the spectroscopy of nearby galaxies, the distribution of nearby galaxies, clusters of galaxies, voids, filaments, bubbles, large scale flows, and the distribution of rich Abell clusters. Emphasis is given to the way in which redshift surveys can be used to study large scale structure and clustering in the universe.
