This paper aims to provide the non-specialist a brief overview and major highlights in the rapidly changing research area of faint field galaxy evolution. Special emphasis is given to number counts, colors, and redshifts more recent than 1992 and their interpretation, both conventional and exotic. We close with previews of new directions that exploit sizes and velocity widths to explore the nature of faint blue galaxies, a puzzle that has defied solution for 15 years. The mystery continues.
