This volume contains two major articles, one providing a historical
retrosp- tive of one of the great triumphs of nuclear physics in
the twentieth century and the other providing a didactic
introduction to one of the quantitative tools for understanding
strong interactions in the twenty-first century. The article by
Igal Talmi on "Fifty Years of the Shell Model - the Quest for the
Effective Interaction", pertains to a model that has dominated
nuclear physics since its infancy and that developed with
astonishing results over the next five decades. Talmi is uniquely
positioned to trace the history of the Shell Model. He was active
in developing the ideas at the shell model's inception, he has been
central in most of the subsequent initiatives which expanded, cl-
ified and applied the shell model and he has remained active in the
field to the present time. Wisely, he has chosen to restrict his
review to the domin- ing issue: the choice of the effective
interactions among valence nucleons that determine the properties
of low lying nuclear energy levels. The treatment of the subject is
both bold and novel for our series. The ideas pertaining to the
effective interaction for the shell model are elucidated in a
historical sequence.
