The Subnuclear Series - Vol. 36

FROM THE PLANCK LENGTH TO THE HUBBLE RADIUS
Proceedings of the International School of Subnuclear Physics
Erice, Sicily, Italy August - September 1998

edited by Antonino Zichichi (European Physical Society, Geneva, Switzerland)

From August to September 1998, a group of 75 physicists from 52 laboratories in 15 countries met in Erice, Italy, for the 36th Course of the International School of Subnuclear Physics. This book constitutes the proceedings of that meeting. It reviews the present status of subnuclear physics and its connections with the fundamental problems of physics, such as the unification of all gauge forces.
