Ever since 1911, the Solvay Conferences have shaped modern physics.
The format is quite different from other conferences as the
emphasis is placed on discussion. The 26th edition held in October
2014 in Brussels and chaired by Roger Blandford continued this
tradition and addressed some of the most pressing open questions in
the fields of astrophysics and cosmology, gathering many of the
leading figures working on a wide variety of profound problems.The
proceedings contain the 'rapporteur talks' giving a broad overview
with unique insights by distinguished renowned scientists. These
lectures cover the five sessions: 'Neutron Stars', 'Black Holes',
'Cosmic Dawn', 'Dark Matter' and 'Cosmic Microwave Background'.In
the Solvay tradition, the proceedings also include the prepared
comments to the rapporteur talks. The discussions among the
participants - expert, yet lively and sometimes contentious - have
been edited to retain to retain their flavor and are reproduced in
full. The reader is taken on a breathtaking ride through 42 years
of extraordinary discovery since astrophysics was last on the
Solvay program and 57 years since cosmology was last discussed.

the Solvay Conferences have shaped modern physics. The format is
quite different from other conferences as the emphasis is placed on
discussion. The 27th edition held in October 2017 in Brussels and
chaired by Boris Shraiman continued this tradition and addressed
some of the most pressing open questions in the fields of
biophysics, gathering many of the leading figures working on a wide
variety of profound problems.The proceedings contain the
'rapporteur talks' giving a broad overview with unique insights by
distinguished renowned scientists. These lectures cover the five
sessions: 'Intra-cellular Structure and Dynamics', 'Cell Behavior
and Control', 'Inter-cellular Interactions and Patterns',
'Morphogenesis', 'Evolutionary dynamics'.In the Solvay tradition,
the proceedings also include the prepared comments to the
rapporteur talks. The discussions among the participants - expert,
yet lively and sometimes contentious - have been edited to retain
their flavor and are reproduced in full. The reader is taken on a
breathtaking ride through a fascinating field which is expanding
rapidly and which was for the first time the subject of a Solvay
Conference on Physics.
A timely addition to the literature, this volume contains
authoritative reviews of three important areas in the physics of
elementary particles. Sam B. Treiman, in "Current Algebra and
PCAC," reviews the present state of the weak interactions. In
"Field Theoretic Investigations in Current Algebra," Roman Jackiw
deals with recent developments in current algebra and its
applications, giving particular attention to anomalies. David J.
Gross covers the high energy inelastic lepton-hadron scattering in
his paper, "The High Energy Behavior of Weak and Electromagnetic
Interactions." Originally published in 1972. The Princeton Legacy
Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make
available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished
backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the
original texts of these important books while presenting them in
durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton
Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly
heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton
University Press since its founding in 1905.
