This volume brings together a collection of review talks and popular science papers by the distinguished Soviet theorist Lev Okun. The talks were given at major international conferences on elementary particle physics during the 1980's. The papers discuss experimental tests of fundamental physical principles and the concept of mass in relativity theory.
