ASTROPARTICLE PHYSICS
Proceedings of the First NCTS Workshop
Kenting, Taiwan 6 - 8 December 2001

edited by Husain Athar (National Center for Theoretical Sciences, Taiwan), Guey-Lin Lin (National Chiao-Tung University, Taiwan) & Kin-Wang Ng (Academia Sinica, Taiwan)

This volume contains detailed articles by theorists and experimentalists in the newly developing field of astroparticle physics. A large variety of topics are covered. These include the role of neutrinos in astroparticle physics, big bang nucleosynthesis, string theory and cosmology.
