This book contains the proceedings of the IXth Jorge André Swieca Summer School — Particles and Fields — held at Campos do Jordao in February 1997.
It surveys some of the most interesting research topics in theoretical physics, like duality theory, quantum field theory in curved space-time, supersymmetry and the standard model, differential geometry and its applications in physics and cosmic ray physics.
