This book covers major themes in the spectroscopy of baryons, some light mesons, and involves some limited discussion of baryons in nuclei. A comprehensive review of theoretical models is included. All currently operating accelerator facilities and future facilities of the 1990s are reviewed, with experimental programs discussed in detail.
