A "Festschrift" volume fulfils a more far-reaching purpose than the
laudatory one. It shows how science develops as a result of the
activities - scientific and organizational - of an individual
person. Scientific achievement cannot be subjected to the very
refined measurement techniques of science itself, but there is a
continuous mutual evaluation among scientists which manifests
itself through refereeing, literature citation and dedicatory
volumes like the present one. Near and distant associates of
Per-Olov Lowdin were enthusiastic about the idea of a tribute to
him in the form of a collection of scientific papers on the
occasion of his sixtieth birthday. Monographs and journals have
fairly well-defined readerships. This book is directed to a wider
group of scientists. It presents reviews of areas where Lowdin's
work has influenced the development as well as research papers with
original results. We feel that it can serve as a source on the
current status of the quantum theory of matter for scientists in
neighbouring fields. It might also provide stimulus for renewed
scientific efforts among scientists turned administrators and will
certainly be relevant for teachers and students of quantum theory.
