100 Years of Subatomic Physics

This book is dedicated to the 100th year anniversary of Rutherford's model of the atom - one of the most important foundations of modern physics. The book provides historical reviews as well as recent progresses on every aspect of subatomic physics from nuclear to particle physics written by S Weinberg, L McLerran, K Hagino, G Garvey, U G Meissner, L Wolfenstein, J Schwarz, C. Tully and other world renowned physicists.
