Summary:

Annotation Proceedings of a conference held at Santa Monica, California, in February 1993. Papers are grouped in eight sections on: early discoveries in weak interactions, early developments in weak interaction theory, discovery of weak neutral currents, perspectives in the electroweak theory, flavor changing weak neutral currents, weak neutral currents and supernovae, weak neutral currents and biological handedness, and colliders and discoveries with them. No index. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
