Reviews
From the reviews: This book is one of the most interesting introductions to today's problems and advances in the fields of cosmology, particle and nuclear physics that I have seen. ... There are numerous examples where the reader is given easy 'visualizations' of scientific findings. ... Helmut is interested in understanding old and new problems of physics and, building on many years of studies and deep reflection, successfully transmits this enthusiasm to the reader. It certainly triggers further thinking. (Hermine K. Wohri, CERN Courier, April, 2014)

Author Information
Helmut Satz is professor of theoretical physics at Bielefeld University in Germany. A pioneer in the study of matter at extreme temperatures and densities, he and his group initiated the investigation of such matter using computer simulation techniques, providing results that were essential for the start of high energy nuclear collision experiments. Satz spent many years on the staff of Brookhaven National Laboratory and also at CERN, in Geneva, where he provided theoretical guidance to the experimental groups. In Bielefeld, he served for several years as director of the Center for Interdisciplinary Research, supporting the dialogue between the different fields of research.
