"Nuclear and Particle Physics" both have been very distinctsubjects for decades, and are now developing more and moreinterfaces. Thus, hitherto typical methods of particlephysics are adopted by nuclear physics. The authors try tobuild bridges between both fields and give nuclearphysicists a thorough introduction from the fundamentals ofparticle physics to current research in this field.Contents:- Introduction- Preliminaries and Simple Models- Currents, Anomaly, Solitons, and Fractional Fermions- More on Chiral Symmetry- Introduction to Instantons- Relevance of Instantons- Chiral Perturbation Theory- The Topological and Non-Topological Soliton Model- QCD Sum Rules- References
