Summary:

This invaluable book is a historical account of the Cornell ElectronStorage Ring and its main detector facility, CLEO, from theirbeginnings in the late 1970's until the end of data collection atparticle energies above the threshold for B meson production inJune 2001. The CESR electron-positron collider was the culminationof a series of electron accelerators constructed at the CornellLaboratory of Nuclear Studies, starting in 1945. Measurement of theproducts of the e+e- collisions was performedwith the multipurpose CLEO apparatus, built and operated by the CLEOcollaboration, which consisted of
