There has recently been a revival of interest in anti-de-Sitter space (AdS), brought about by the conjectured duality between physics in the bulk of AdS and a conformal field theory on the boundary. Since the whole subject of branes, singletons and superconformal field theories on the AdS boundary was an active area of research about ten years ago, we begin with a historical review, including the idea of the "membrane at the end of the universe." We then compare the old and new approaches and discuss some new results on AdS 5 × S5 and AdS 3 × S3.
