In this book the author has tried to apply "a little imagination and thinking" to modelling dynamical phenomena from a classical atomic and molecular point of view. Nonlinearity is emphasized, as are phenomena which are elusive from the continuum mechanics point of view.

This volume brings together eight major review articles by Maurice Jacob, a physicist at the forefront of research on the quark structure of matter. He has been involved with two research topics in this field: hadronic jets and the search for quark matter.

This volume contains 34 research articles on numerical mathematics written by leading mathematicians from all over the world. It is dedicated to the memory of Lothar Collatz (1910-1990) for his significant contributions to numerical mathematics.

The last decade has seen a revolution in how we think about nuclear structure. It has become clear that the nucleus is a relativistic system and that the motion of nucleons is best described by the Dirac equation. The book describes some of the successes achieved in the relativistic approach with an emphasis on parameter-free models.

This book discusses the geometrical aspects of Kaluza-Klein theories. The ten chapters cover topics from the differential and Riemannian manifolds to the reduction of Einstein-Yang-Mills action. It would definitely prove interesting reading to physicists and mathematicians, theoretical and experimental.
