the redshift range of 0.2<z<0.7. I will discuss some of the most recent results from BOSS and other surveys including the 1% measurement of BAO at z=0.57 from BOSS and constraints on gravity using all of the currently available redshift space distortions measurements
from BOSS and other surveys. I will also introduce new probes from large scale structure which will help us learn more about gravity and galaxy environment.
