For more than 25 years the Standard Model of particle physics has
withstood the confrontation with experimental results of increasing
precision, but this does not imply that the Standard Model can
answer all questions about the ultimate constituents of nature.
This book presents a critical examination of the latest
experimental results and confronts them with the predictions of the
Standard Model. Besides discussions of accelerator results from
LEP, HERA and the TEVATRON, attention is paid to the unresolved
problems of neutrino oscillations, CP violation, dark matter and
cosmology. New theoretical ideas are also analyzed in order to
explore possible extensions of the standard model. Realistic plans
for future accelerators are presented and their physics potential
is discussed, paving the way for the next generation of particle
physics experiments.

This volume commemorates the 65th birthday of William Vernon Harris
(on September 13, 2003), when a group of his former students agreed
to honor him with a collection of essays that would represent the
wide variety of interests and influences of our advisor and friend.
The fifteen papers in fact range chronologically from the first
Olympics to late antiquity and discuss various questions of
imperialism, law, economy, and religion in the ancient
Mediterranean world. The essays share a social historical
perspective from which they challenge as many commonly accepted
notions in ancient history. The contributors acknowledge their
intellectual debt to the formative scholarly acumen of William V.
Harris, which adds up to the "tall order" of engaging with his
work.
