The book contains invited and contributed talks presented at the 18th European Conference on Few-Body Problems in Physics, held in Bled (Slovenia) in September 2002. The topics covered range from sub-nucleonic to molecular scales and demonstrate the latest theoretical, experimental, and computational advances, with an emphasis on interdisciplinarity of few-body techniques.

Povh and Rosina's Scattering and Structures presents the properties of quantum systems (elementary particles, nucleons, atoms, molecules, quantum gases, quantum liquids, stars, and early universe) with the help of elementary concepts and analogies between these seemingly different systems.
