This book deals with the most recent achievements in the following areas of high energy physics: physics of e+e- collisions, lepton–nucleon scattering, relativistic heavy ion collisions (the quest for quark–gluon plasma), and multiparticle production. New experimental results from Tevatron, LEP, SPS and HERA and the theoretical progress in the aforementioned fields are presented.
