World Scientific Series in 20th Century Physics - Vol. 32

IN CONCLUSION
A Collection of Summary Talks in High Energy Physics

by James D Bjorken (Stanford Linear Accelerator Center)

This invaluable volume is a collection of conference talks by James D Bjorken, who has made a huge impact on particle physics and the development of the Standard Model. The earliest of these talks was given in 1965, and the latest in 1990. The book provides, from a personal perspective, a glimpse of the complex evolution of the field over those highly productive decades.

In Conclusion: A Collection of Summary Talks in High Energy Physics is aimed at a broad spectrum of particle physicists, both experimental and theoretical, but will benefit students as well.
