A multi-wavelength view of galaxy evolution with AKARI
  AKARI's all-sky survey resolves the far-infrared emission in many thousands
of nearby galaxies, providing essential local benchmarks against which the
evolution of high-redshift populations can be measured. This review presents
some recent results in the resolved galaxy populations, covering some
well-known nearby targets, as well as samples from major legacy surveys such as
the Herschel Reference Survey and the JCMT Nearby Galaxies Survey. This review
also discusses the prospects for higher redshifts surveys, including strong
gravitational lens clusters and the AKARI NEP field.
