This indispensable volume contains a compendium of articles covering a vast range of topics in physics which were begun or influenced by the works of Albert Einstein: special relativity, quantum theory, statistical physics, condensed matter physics, general relativity, geometry, cosmology and unified field theory. An essay on the societal role of Einstein is included. These articles, written by some of the renowned experts, offer an insider''s view of the exciting world of fundamental science.

This important book contains selected research papers of Prof Bunji Sakita. Included are his pioneering papers on SU(6) symmetry, strong coupling theory, string theory, supersymmetry and the method of collective coordinates. There is also a vivid personal account of his journey in physics. The book brings to light some of the key concepts of modern high energy physics.

This book contains an edited comprehensive collection of reprints on the subject of the large N limit as applied to a wide spectrum of problems in quantum field theory and statistical mechanics. The topics include (1) Spin Systems; (2) Large N Limit of Gauge Theories; (3) Two-Dimensional QCD; (4) Exact Results on Planar Perturbation Series and the Nature of the 1/N Series; (5) Schwinger-Dyson Equations Approach; (6) QCD Phenomenological Lagrangians and the Large N Limit; (7) Other Approaches to Large N: Eguchi-Kawai Model, Collective Fields and Numerical Methods; (8) Matrix Models; (9) Two-Dimensional Gravity and String Theory.

The proceedings reflect a broad spectrum of topics in contemporary theoretical physics: quantum aspects of black holes; recent progress in critical and noncritical string theory; spin chains quantum hall effect and generalized statistics; stochastic dynamics turbulence and reaction kinetics; foundations of quantum mechanics; new statistics in field theory; quantum field theory on Riemann surfaces and knot theory; lattice field theories. The lectures present developments in the frontiers of these subjects and provide interdisciplinary links between the areas.
