This was a joint meeting of the Johns Hopkins Workshop and PASCOS. It was interdisciplinary in its nature. The proceedings gives an overview of the current situation in the interrelated fields of elementary particle physics, astrophysics and cosmology as well as provides a forum for the presentation new results.

Contents:

Implication of Neutrino Mass (P Langacker)
Recent Progress in the Heavy Quark Theory (M Shifman)
Precision Tests of Quantum Chromodynamics and the Standard Model (S J Brodsky & H J Lu)
The Power of Duality — Exact Results in 4D SUSY Field Theory (N Seiberg)
Quantum Groups and q-Lattices in Phase Space (J Wess)
The Controversy about the Value of the Hubble Constant (A Sandage)
Big Bang Nucleosynthesis: The Emerging Crisis? (G Steigman)
Quantum Cosmology and the Structure of Inflationary Universe (A Linde)
Black Holes in Supersymmetric Gravity (R Kallosh)
and other papers
