This book contains important papers on the strangeness production processes and strangeness nuclear physics resulting from electromagnetic interaction. Both experimentalists and theorists in the field present information on recent activities and discuss the prospects of related fields.

• Overview of Electromagnetic Strangeness Production
• Theoretical Aspects of Strangeness Production
• Experimental Aspects of Strangeness Production on Nucleons and Nuclei
• Spectroscopy of Hypernuclei
• New Facilities
