    DESERFEST
    A Celebration of the Life and Works of Stanley Deser
    Michigan Center for Theoretical Physics, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, USA, 3 – 5 April 2004

    edited by James T Liu (University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, USA) , Michael J Duff (University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, USA) , Kellogg S Stelle (Imperial College, London) , & Richard P Woodard (University of Florida, USA)

    This volume comprises the contributions to the proceedings of Deserfest — a festschrift in honor of Stanley Deser. Many of Stanley Deser's colleagues and longtime collaborators, including Richard Arnowitt and Charles Misner of “ADM” fame, contribute insighted article. Ranging from lower dimensional gravity theories all the way to supergravity in eleven dimensions and M-theory, the papers highlight the wide impact that Deser has had in the field.
