| Summary |
This is an invaluable collection of colloquium-type lectures given by some of the most prominent theoretical physicists of today. In a form accessible to the interested general physicist, it covers topics ranging from the use of field-theoretical methods in different contexts via duality symmetries between various field theories, to the Ads/CFT correspondence and cosmology. Contents: The Weak Interaction: Its History and Impact on Physics (T D Lee); Electron Orbits and Superconductivity of Carbon 60 (T D Lee); The Power of Duality - Exact Results in 4D SUSY Field Theory (N Seiberg); String The |
