This book contains papers by leading physicists on developments in high energy physics, string theory and cosmology. Topics covered include recent results from accelerator and non-accelerator experiments, CP-violation, neutrino physics, precision tests of the Standard Model, quantum gravity and two-dimensional gravity, superstring theory and superstring phenomenology, relativistic astrophysics and cosmology.
