✦ Synopsis

Mesons supplies a much needed compilation of available knowledge concerning mesons and phenomena associated with them. It is written with great clarity and the author has followed a practice which might well be more extensively used, the practice of devoting a couple of pages to definitions of symbols used throughout the text. Another very valuable feature is a glossary of terms which, in itself, forms a very useful summarization of many of the characteristics and phenomena dealt with at greater length in the text itself.

The book is so rich in the number of topics treated, that in a review one can do little more than refer to the chapters and their main contents.
