First sentence: Five hundred and fifty years before Christ, Empedokles from Agragas in Sicily (today Agrigento) came up with the idea that there are four elements: earth, water, air and fire.
Description: This book contains comprehensive reviews of modern topics in nuclear physics, particle physics, astrophysics and cosmology. Special emphasis is put on the role of several symmetries in physics at intermediate and high energies and on neutrino physics, with its implications in nuclear astrophysics and cosmology. Many applications of the theories and experiments are included, along with interesting information on recent developments with respect to current problems in modern physics. The book is therefore especially useful to new scientists and graduate students.
