This volume gives a detailed account of the current trends in the interface areas of medium and high energy nuclear physics. Special stress is given to topics like chiral models, relativistic models, hot nuclei, quark-gluon plasma and other reactions with non-nucleonic degrees of freedom. The articles present the state-of-the-art research in these areas and also suggest unsolved problems which will form the main thrust of future research work in nuclear physics.
